Airfreight support package: More information on how it works and how to register your interest

Further to our STAG Bulletin issued this morning about the airfreight support package where the Australian Government is backing Australia’s agriculture and seafood export sectors through a new $110 million initiative to help exporters get their high-quality produce into key overseas markets (with return flights bringing back vital medical supplies, medicines and equipment critical to the ongoing health response).

For further detailed information on the package and how it will work we encourage you to read this easy to follow fact sheet by clicking here

The funding is aimed at high-value agricultural and fisheries exports, which includes mostly perishable products where Australian exporters have important and established customers in markets.

Eligible products may include:

seafood, including lobsters
premium red meat, including beef and pork
dairy, including fresh milk and yoghurt
horticulture, including premium fruits and packaged salad or vegetables.

We encourage seafood exporters to express their interest now by sharing your air freight requirements. To do this, Express your interest here
