Package assisting small exporters

In 2019 the Australian Government extended the Package Assisting Small Exporters (PASE) program. The program supports small exporters in overcoming some of the barriers they face when exporting through project grants.

$5 million in grants have been awarded for 21 projects.

While grants are not limited to small exporters, they must primarily be for the benefit of small exporters.

Projects

The following projects have been successful under the recent grant-round:

Horticulture

  • Australian Table Grape Association
    • developing chemical residue mobile device apps for the avocado, apple and pear, vegetable, berries, mango, melon, and summer stone fruit industries; and
    • enhancing the industry sector’s current Export Accreditation System that streamlines the export registration process, to assist small exporters in complying with protocol requirements.
  • AUSVEG
    • developing the Vegetable Exporter Business Training program, assisting horticulture growers to develop their exporting business skills and efficiency.
  • Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries
    • market intelligence for Kabocha Squash by stepping through the supply chain to determine Japanese market requirements.

Background

The PASE program started in 2014. The program consisted of:

  • a rebate for eligible registered export establishments in the meat, dairy, fish, eggs, horticulture, grain, and plant product sectors in 2014-15 (no longer available)
  • a review of export registration fees and charges (completed in 2015)
  • funding for projects that supported market access for small exporters.

The Australian Government supported 58 projects through the previous grants package.
