Need

The Australian retailer's network provides a platform in which the FRDC can obtain direct engagement within the sector that is a key research extension and utilisation pathway - not only for consumer insights and marketing research but also for communicating and interacting with the consumer on issues such as fisheries sustainability and food safety. The retailers are the "consumer face" of the industry so as the industry, with the assistance of the FRDC, begins it's marketing journey the Australian Seafood Retailers Network will become a key piece of research extension and utilisation infrastructure as well as a pathway for industry marketing initiatives.

There is now also the need to evaluate the existing network and look at ways the network could move towards a more self-funding model in 2017.

Objectives

1. To trial and evaluate Australian Seafood Retailers Network as an extension and adoption pathway for FRDC research and industry marketing campaigns
2. To research the effectiveness of different communication mechanisms for extending FRDC research that targets Australian seafood retailers
3. To research options for and develop a business plan for the ongoing funding and management of the FRDC Australian Seafood Retailers Network

To support a series of school excursions run by the Professional Fisherman's Association a series of lesson plans were developed to support teaching during the excursion and back in the classroom. These lesson plans made up the first stage of the project. The second stage of the project was to conduct an audit of existing primary and secondary school resources that are available in digital and hard copy.

Maximising the value of the NSW Longfin Eel catch through a whole of supply chain approach - Stage 1

Following a dramatic drop in demand for live wild-caught eels (Longfin Eel, Anguilla Reinhardtii) to be exported from NSW to China, fishing efforts have significantly reduced, and the fishery is now classed as underutilised. At the same time, there is a global shortage of eels, with demand...

Need

Australian seafood exporters still face a number of formal technical (e.g. SO2 in canned Abalone) and informal systemic barriers (e.g. deemed value) to trade which add cost and complexities which in the longer term could result in the opportunities created in the recent conclusion of a suite of FTAs with Asian markets not being fully realised.

The 2014 Seafood Exporters Forum (45 exporters participated) agreed to continue the STAG to continue to focus on key priorities for the most important markets (China, Hong Kong and Japan). Other sectors were invited to join the STAG provided they support the STAG activities with resources and communicate according to the agreed key messages (outlined in the STAG Trade Agenda).

Research on macro economic trends in important markets and potential FTA implementation issues that may impede capitalisation on the opportunities provided by those FTAs and are reflected in the agreed Seafood Trade Agenda priorities for 2016-2018 (attached). Having a unified voice on these priorities and addressing issues as they arise is the cornerstone of the success of the STAG to date.

The STAG needs to coordinate communication and extension of research as well as continue to prioritise research priorities to keep access to global markets. As a relatively new group the STAG needs to formalise partnership arrangements that includes more industry sectors, implement a governance structure and establish a more stable funding base, including the establishment of a secretariat with capacity to respond to issues and responsibility for implementing and reporting on the Trade Agenda.

This project will provide the co-contribution agreed for the PASE funded Seafood Asian Seafood Market Access Project. The funds from this project will be used to ensure that the outcomes of the PASE project are communicated and extended effectively to industry and that industry issues are communicated back to the project team. It will establish a new governance and reporting arrangement for the STAG and negotiate with the newly forming national peak body for it to assume the ongoing secretariat role for the STAG.

Objectives

1. To support Australian government trade liberalisation and seafood exporters objectives by coordinating action on priority issues identified in the seafood Trade Agenda and Action Plan 2016-2018
2. To formalise STAG partnership and governance arrangements and develop a pathway for the establishment of a Seafood Trade Advisory Group as part of the newly forming national peak industry body
3. To establish the capacity to monitor and respond to non technical trade and market access issues that arise outside of the Trade Agenda and Action Plan 2016-2018
