the relative price of the land intensive product would increase in Australia

Explanation:

In business, relative price refers to how expensive the price of a certain product perceived compared other products.

When Belgium and Australia involved in a trade, some percentage of Belgium Capital's will be invested in Australia. As a result, there will be more land in Australia that require more workers to handle the operation.

This will cause relative price of the land intensive product would increase in Australia since people who live in this area will have higher average income compared to the people who live in areas without investment.
