Vegetable Industry Export Strategy 2025

Looking to the future

The Vegetable Industry Export Strategy (VIES) 2025 was developed by McKinna et al in 2020 in collaboration with AUSVEG and Hort Innovation to provide a valuable resource for the industry to assist with focusing international trade and market development investment.

Introduction

The Australian Vegetable Industry’s Export Strategy has been updated for the period 2021 to 2025. The export strategy has been developed with input from Australian vegetable exporters, AUSVEG and industry partners.

Strategy Mission

To grow the value of Australian vegetable exports by supporting industry to market premium products, targeting higher value market segments

Strategy Targets

The targets that have been set in this strategy reflect the challenges and opportunities arising from the COVID-19 pandemic which are likely to endure for a number of years.

Recover and sustain trade of $300 million of export value by 2023

Achieve $400 million of export value by 2025

The 2025 strategy

The 2025 Vegetable Industry Export Development Strategy consists of five pillars structured around two distinct time horizons with a focus on activity to ‘Regain Momentum’ in horizon 1 and ‘Drive Growth’ in horizon 2.

HORIZON 1: REGAIN MOMENTUM

Horizon 1 focuses on regaining export momentum in the short to medium term. Over this timeframe industry will focus on stabilising demand in key, established export markets.

1: Consolidate Core Markets

Rebuild market share in the core markets and channels for Australian vegetables.

2: Tell Our Story

Understand and articulate the value proposition for Australian vegetables.

HORIZON 2: DRIVE GROWTH

Horizon 2 focuses on long term, sustainable growth drivers. Over this timeframe industry will focus on building and further leveraging Australia’s unique selling points to target high value markets and channels.

3: Target the Value

Support exporters to pursue more targeted market and channel growth opportunities

4:Deliver the Promise

Assist industry to leverage new cold chain management, technologies and practices to underpin quality

5: Grow Emerging Markets

Undertake the groundwork to better understand emerging and frontier markets.

Enabling the strategy:

The strategy has identified a range of ‘enablers’ necessary to achieve the strategy mission and growth targets:

A culture of collaboration

Industry understanding of the importance of exporting

Access to best available market intelligence

Workable market access

A well resourced and networked trade team

Clear communication of the strategy and its progress

Export Readiness

How can I learn about exporting 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 accessible here.

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.

Market Development

Market development is a high priority for the vegetable industry and is a key element of AUSVEG’s export development program.?By identifying new buyers, and developing strong in-market relationships, AUSVEG aims to improve and create export opportunities for Australian vegetable growers.

AUSVEG, in conjunction with Hort Innovation, has developed a range of info-sheets and resources to assist growers with market development, which are accessible here.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions no face to face international market development activities are currently scheduled. As international travel returns to normal, AUSVEG will recommence the following market development activities in line with official health and travel advice.

Outbound Trade Missions

Since 2014, AUSVEG has facilitated over 250 growers to participate in trade missions to over 10 international markets. Outbound trade missions include a range of visits to supply chain and logistics facilities to build growers understanding of the market. These trade missions typically involve exhibiting at fresh produce tradeshows and meeting with key buyers.?Tradeshows build awareness of the Australian vegetable industry’s supply capabilities and facilitate direct connections between Australian growers and international buyers.

In Market Assistance

AUSVEG maintains important contacts in export markets, including Government Officials, Austrade representatives, freight and logistics providers and fresh produce buyers.

Levy paying growers should contact AUSVEG on (03) 9882 0277 or at export@motorcity casino www.urtrend.net, with the market and products you are interested in exporting for assistance to identify key contacts.

Market Access

Understanding which markets your products have access to is an important consideration for growers involved in or looking into export.

The Australian vegetable industry exports to over 50 countries. Most trade in fresh vegetable exports from Australia is to non-protocol markets undertaken with a limited number of protocols in place governing export trade for certain vegetable products into specific countries.

Seeks improvements and maintenance of existing market access

Recognises the impact of improvements in protocols
Promotes Free Trade Agreements
Recognises industry commitment and investment in export development

AUSVEG undertakes the following functions to support vegetable industry market access:

Provides support and facilitation of protocol audits
Assists in resolution of market access issues
Works with industry, Hort Innovation and the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment to progress vegetable industry market access priorities
