Premier of Tasmania
Boosting trade opportunities in Japan and Singapore
Tenders have opened as part of a competitive process to appoint a Tasmanian Trade Advocate in both Japan and Singapore. These two tenders deliver on a key action in the Tasmanian Trade Strategy Annual Action Plan 2021, released yesterday, which aims to expand our domestic and international trade. The successful Trade Advocates will play a pivotal role in supporting Tasmanian business and industry to capture opportunities in an increasingly complex global trading environment. Japan is one of our oldest key trading partners and Tasmania’s second largest single export market worth more than $240 million, and through this new Trade Advocate, this relationship will only be strengthened.

Tasmanian exports increased by 1.2 per cent in 2020 compared to the previous year despite the significant disruptions caused by the global pandemic, according to the latest ABS data.
These results saw Tasmania record the third highest annual growth in the country, and are very encouraging indicating more positive signs about confidence and our economy.
Due to the ongoing uncertainty in global markets and international freight, we released our Interim Trade Action Plan, and invested an additional $2.65 million in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to support Tasmanian export businesses.
Tasmania has what the rest of the world wants, with our goods increasingly in demand as our reputation for high-quality products continues to grow across the globe.
