AN EXPORT business from Barker could become Australia’s exporter of the year.
Entries are now open for the 2018 Australian Export Awards, celebrating the success of Australian products and services on the global stage.
Member for Baker Tony Pasin encouraged local exporters to enter the 56th annual awards, co-presented by Austrade and the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
“Barker produces some of the highest quality export products in the country,” Mr Pasin said.
“Exporters from Barker such as Almond Co. Australia, Thomas Foods International and Blue Lake Milling have been recognised through these awards in recent years.
“Barker export businesses contribute significantly to the local economy and jobs and it would be great to see a local business recognised with a national award.”
Applicants first enter into the Business SA Export Awards before the winners progress to the finals of the national event in Canberra in December.
Applications are accepted across 13 national export award categories, including the new Emerging Exporters, Agribusiness, Manufacturing, Digital Technologies, e-Commerce, Health and Biotechnology, Regional Exporter and Small Business.
Visit www.exportawards.gov.au for more information on how to enter.
Applications for the South Australian awards close July 31.
