Overview
Southland’s motto is “From the farmgate to Asia’s dinner plate.”
Southlands aims to be a major Australian food exporter into
Asia. As disposable incomes rise in many Asian economies
consumers can afford new things, and one of the first they will
demand is new, tasty food and beverage options.
Southlands first product under development is Pondicherry a

experienced brewer to develop the product and is engaging in
market research for the product in India.
