National Trade Program

198 The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO ().1 December 2022). Can the Minister for Trade and Investment advise—

1. Did the National Trade Program support any wineries in its lifetime?

2. Which businesses or organisations did the National Trade Program support since 2020 including the amount provided to the business or organisation?

3. When did the last round of the National Trade Program open and end?

4. When did the National Trade Program cease to be offered?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): The Minister for Trade and Investment has advised:

1. The National Trade Program was a general program that operated across many sectors and was not specifically a wine industry support program.

Over its lifetime, less than 7.4 per cent of participants represented the wine industry.

2. The National Trade Program was an export capability development program held with the Export Council of Australia and Food South Australia. The Export Council of Australia and Food South Australia provided advice and workshops to help businesses to identify expansion gaps and connected them with potential interstate buyers to build their ability to scale for exporting.

The National Trade Program did not provide grants to businesses.

Businesses that participated in the National Trade Program are listed alphabetically below.
