Need

There is a need to provide an unbiased, independent expert service to the industry as it attempts to penetrate international markets, particularly in Europe. This project would address aspects of the strategic challenges identified in the SSA/FRDC industry development plan and the FRDC People Development Challenge. Specifically, providing a service where the industry cannot provide an equal service to seafood exporters.

There is also a need to project the reputation of Australian fisheries for excellence in sustainability, truth in labelling, food safety and quality.

Objectives

1. To provide a professional information service for Australian exhibitors at the European Seafood Expo.
2. To launch the Australian Standard for Fish Names internationally.
3. To mentor an Australian Seafood industry person in order that they gain knowledge and understanding of the work involved at such Exhibitions.
4. To disseminate any information from the trip, involvement at the exposition, etc into ways which will help the Australian Seafood Industry.

Summary

The project was developed to take advantage of an Australian presence at the world’s leading seafood event, the European Seafood Expo, to introduce young Australians to the world market for seafood. In selecting ESE, the bursary recipients would be exposed to the products from over eighty countries and 1,600 exhibitors in an Expo that covers more than 40,000sqm of floor space. For Australians who had not been to such an event it put the place of Australian seafood, production, value and pack-style, firmly into perspective. Each bursary holder’s ideas, points of importance and knowledge gained are contained within this report.
