Because, like any country, it cannot produce all the food it needs itself. Some foods don't grow or are not made in Australia, so those would be imported. They may not always have the quantities of food they need, so some has to be imported.

Australia does not rely on imported produce, but in the interests of free trade, it certainly does import produce. Australia is actually capable of producing all the foods its citizens require.
