FRUIT GROWERS Tasmania will use a $460,000 federal grant to create an export hub which will play a pivotal role in the State’s agrifood recovery. Tasmanian Minister for Trade Jeremy Rockliff said the funding will help producers of fruit, nuts, vegetables, salad greens and other horticultural products build on Tasmania’s brand and strong export culture. ‘The growers will work with other industry groups and agribusiness to leverage new collaborative market and export opportunities, drive increased trade, value and farm productivity,’ he said. ‘With the disruption to trade worldwide due to COVID-19, the Tasmanian and Commonwealth governments are helping exporters maintain access to key international markets and prepare for new opportunities.’
