| The concept of competitiveness develops and amplifies the older concept of comparative advantage.

Usually national statistics of the ratio of domestic and foreign prices (adjusted by the exchange rate) are compared in the form of the real rate of exchange.

The predominantly Chinese city state of Singapore provides the potential to be a valuable source of demand. The distribution system in Singapore is considered from the perspective of a potential entrant. The potential for Australian producers to take advantage of the Singapore markets are examined, together with the likely impediments to achieving this potential. |
