About Market Access and Trade
Fisheries Market Access and Trade Program was formed in March 2001 in recognition of the need for a more coordinated approach to addressing deficiencies in the Australian/State Government’s and the Australian fishing industry’s approach to dealing with market access issues.
The Fisheries Market Access and Trade Program has four principal objectives, namely:
- Development of a targeted market access agenda, including participation in the current WTO round of negotiations and in developing bilateral agreements
- Publishing, industry identified export market guides
- Development of a strategy to promote greater coordination and cooperation between the Australian Seafood Industry and Commonwealth, State and Territory governments in dealing with market access issues, and
- Development of a program to alleviate current inadequacies in the collation and dissemination of market information.
Outputs from the program include publications, working papers and strategic documents, including:
- The FishBook II
A Guide to Australian Government Programs, Grants and Services for the Australian Seafood Industry - 2006 edition
- $34 Billion Reasons to Access the US Seafood Market
A Guide to exporting Australia’s Fisheries Products to the United States
