Applications are now open for grant funding to help Western Australian agrifood businesses to capture premium Asian export markets, and to help drive economic growth and jobs in the regions.
Up to $500,000 is available from Round Three of the Grants for Asian Market Export to support small and medium businesses to build their presence and supply chains into high growth Asian markets, and boost their contribution to the regional economy.
Grants of between $20,000 to $50,000 are available, with a cash co-contribution required by applicants, to develop value chains, new business models and improve scale, product quality and capacity to satisfy export customers' demands.
The grants program is a part of the Asian Market Success project to support WA agrifood businesses and industries to grow, attract investment and become internationally competitive.
More than $2.6 million has been granted in previous rounds of the program, attracting co-investment from recipients, representing leveraging of 267 per cent across the South-West, Great Southern, Wheatbelt and Mid-West regions.
