SIA receives grant for China relations

The award is being hailed as a significant step in strengthening relationships and exchanges between Australia’s seafood industry and key stakeholders in China to promote future engagement.

“The Australia-China seafood trade is built on shared values of quality, sustainability and trust,” said SIA chief executive Veronica Papacosta.

“Funding from the National Foundation for Australia-China Relations allows us to further develop initiatives that facilitate knowledge exchange and maximise outcomes for Australian seafood producers from building strong, commercially significant relationships and personal connections with key networks in China.”

“The support from the National Foundation for Australia-China Relations is an investment in the long-term prosperity of the seafood industry.”

The grant will fund a programme of activities over the next three years led by SIA to deepen Australian industry knowledge and capability for engagement with China and showcase Australia’s seafood industry and sustainability credentials.
