Austrade Lounge

At Fine Food Australia 2025, the Austrade Lounge was the hub for international trade connections – designed to help Australian food and beverage producers expand their footprint in global markets. Whether exhibitors were export-ready or exploring their first steps overseas, Austrade’s experts were there to guide them every step of the way.

Austrade hosted tailored business meetings between Australian exhibitors and leading international buyers, importers, and retailers from around the world. Participants gained direct access to Austrade’s Business Development Managers from key markets, including South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, India, and New Zealand. These specialists shared insider knowledge, trade trends, and the latest insights into how to successfully enter and scale in their markets.

Collaborating with States and Territories
Austrade was also supported by state trade agencies such as Global Victoria, Investment NSW, Food South Australia, and Trade Tasmania – ensuring every Australian exporter had the tools and support needed to succeed globally.
