== Geographic food origins databases ==
Woolworths and Coles are the two largest supermarkets in Australia, having a combined market share of more than 65% of the grocery market<ref>https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-23/a-history-of-the-duopoly-coles-woolworths/103494070</ref>. Aldi (Aldi Süd) is a recent arrival (after coming to Oz in 2001), and has managed to acquire a large market share from the Woolworths/Coles duopoly which prior to Aldi arriving was 80% market share.
== Local databases of interest ==


Costco has a 3.5% market share, despite only having 15 stores in Australia (Woolworths has more than 1,100). It arrived in Melbourne, Australia in 2009<ref>https://eprints.qut.edu.au/50049/</ref>.
