Local exporters flew to Singapore as part of a Sunshine Coast Council and Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ) pilot initiative.
It aims to broaden international exposure, boost consumer awareness and see more chefs featuring our seafood on Singaporean menus.
Renowned as the gateway to Southeast Asia, Singapore is the perfect launchpad for our exporters, potentially opening doors to neighbouring markets like Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Macau.
Sunshine Coast Council Economy Portfolio Councillor Joe Natoli said the trade mission opened the door to future export initiatives and local jobs.
"Currently 18 per cent of locally produced goods and services are being exported outside the region and we are on track to achieve our goal to reach 20 per cent by 2033 as outlined in the Sunshine Coast Regional Economic Development Strategy.
"This trade mission highlights the exceptional quality of local seafood and shines a spotlight on the industry's commitment to innovation, sustainability and delivering first-class products to the world.
"Additionally, the increase in exports helps create more local jobs and opportunities in the seafood industry and strengthens our economy."
