The cherry growers of Tasmania showcased their products at one of the world's largest fruit trade events, held in Hong Kong last week. Asia Fruit Logistica brings together exhibitors from 43 countries and attracts over 13,000 visitors each year.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff stated that the State’s representation at the event is crucial for exporters to build new relationships with buyers and distributors. “This event is a fantastic opportunity for our State’s hardworking growers to showcase their products and highlight the quality of what Tasmania has to offer,” he said.
The State's fruit industry generates about 400 million dollars annually, with cherries being the top export, valued at 48.28 million dollars. According to Minister for Primary Industries Jane Howlett, the industry’s success story is set to continue.
“We know that gaining new markets will further grow the fruit industry, which is why our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's future commits 600,000 dollars to Fruit Growers Tasmania to expand its commercial presence, including through a trade officer,” she said.
