Export readiness

Overview

Learn how to export fresh vegetables overseas

Since 2014 AUSVEG has been undertaking a range of export capability development activities to assist vegetable growers to become export ready.

In partnership with the Export Council of Australia (ECA) and Bisnis Asia, AUSVEG has developed a range of education and training courses delivered via face to face workshops or online.

AUSVEG, in conjunction with Hort Innovation, has developed a range of info-sheets and resources to assist growers to become export ready, which are available in both print and online formats.

Am I ready to export fresh produce?

  • Becoming export ready can be challenging and requires real commitment to build a viable export business.
  • The key to exporting to a new market is understanding the specific requirements and expectations of that market.
  • Understanding these requirements is a crucial component to develop a successful export strategy.

Cultural Business Etiquette Training

Cultural differences can be an obstacle when conducting business overseas. From time to time, businesses may have missed opportunities by not knowing that they have said the wrong word or phrase, selected a wrong image or colour on their business cards or product packaging, or misunderstood cultural greetings when speaking to foreign customers. This program is designed to help businesses familiarise themselves with conducting business in an international context.
