Guy Barnett, Minister for Trade,
The Tasmanian Liberal Government is continuing to grow and expand access to world markets for Tasmanian products and this has been boosted by the appointment of the first-ever Singapore-based Trade Advocate.
Singapore is a strategic gateway into many ASEAN economies which are experiencing strong growth and increasing wealth, presenting new opportunities for our exporters into lucrative and influential international markets.
Mr Udai Panicker has been appointed as our Singapore-based Trade Advocate and will be supported by the team at Tractus Asia to open up new trade opportunities and grow our market presence.
Mr Panicker will lead a push to unlock greater access not only across Singapore but also to the wider Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) region with his existing connections into Malaysia and Indonesia but also including Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

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.
