Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Answers to Questions Wine Industry Wine Industry The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD Legislative Council Wine Industry In reply to the Hon. D.G.E. HOOD ().9 April 2024). The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development Minister for Forest Industries Wine Industry The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): I am advised: China's decision on 28 March to remove all tariffs on Australian wine into China is a fantastic result for South Australia's wine producers. On 30 March, Premier Malinauskas announced a $1.85 million China re-engagement support package for South Australian wine exporters, providing industry with exporter capability building, market activation and immersion, marketing activities in China, technical cooperation, and a Shanghai-based wine export adviser. This government continues to play an active role supporting our state's re-engagement with China—in September last year Premier Malinauskas led a delegation of SA businesses to China. I recently led a delegation to the China Food and Drink Fair in Chengdu and the Taste of South Australia Mission in Guangzhou, where I saw firsthand that Chinese consumers continue to have a high regard for our premium food, wine, and beverages. While there remains softening global demand for wine, driven by changing consumer habits, I have every confidence South Australia's world-class wine producers will again find success in China's market.
