A. United States The communication styles in the United States differ from how other countries communicate business approaches. Americans tend to debate and can be seen as rude by other cultures. When you first come to an interaction with an American they often come off as friendly, polite and considerate of your well-being.

The share of total production exported has ranged from 40–60% over the period shown below. Over recent years Australia has exported closer to 40% of its milk production which is the lowest proportion since the mid-1990s, due to the reduced availability of product from a declining milk production base (Dairy Trade Environment, 2016).
