Potential impact
More export options
The world trusts and loves Australian-grown food. Building on that trust in the safety, quality and provenance of our agrifood exports will enable Australian agriculture to access high value markets for our produce, and grow export premiums.
Our aim is for:
- a globally competitive export sector based on trusted ‘Brand Australia’
- flexibility and diversity in export markets
- greater premiums for Australia’s quality and trusted food
- increased employment and opportunities in Australian agritech.

Plan and collaboration
Building it together
The Mission has live projects underway with the Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment, Hort Innovation and Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA).
We are linking external engagement and collaborators with CSIRO’s Agriculture and Food, Health and Biosecurity and Data61 business units to develop cohesive, cross-industry solutions that are ready for adoption.
Developing the tools and technologies needed to meet the requirements of diverse markets will require significant stakeholder input and support. We continue to seek partners to help us reach our goal of growing Australian agrifood exports by $10b by 2030.
