Fisheries market access and trade

The Australian fisheries sector has performed impressively during the past decade. The volume and value of exported products have increased significantly, as has the sector’s ability to take advantage of new market opportunities. 

There is further potential to expand Australia’s fisheries exports into new and growing markets, which will in turn secure a more diversified market base for our fisheries products. 

Developing and maintaining a diversified market base is important for minimising problems associated with having too few markets that are economically and geographically co-located.

The department’s Trade and Market Access division can provide more information about market access for fisheries products.
