Food Import Compliance Agreement (FICA) statistics show steady growth in the number of active agreements from 2019 to 2025, increasing from 20 primary entities to 40 primary entities by end of 2025, with 5 subsidiary companies consistently participating throughout the period. New FICAs commenced at a relatively stable rate of 3-4 annually, with only one agreement ceasing in 2022. Audit activity averaged 25 audits per year, ranging from 21 to 30, indicating consistent compliance monitoring across the program. The data demonstrates sustained expansion of Australia's food import compliance framework over the seven-year period, reflecting increasing engagement with foreign food suppliers under formal compliance arrangements.
