Export Trade : Tasmanian Exporters

A thriving export sector is critical to ensuring future economic development in Tasmania. The challenge is not only to maintain our impressive level of exports - it is also to develop the export base, increase the number of exporters and produce more knowledge intensive exports.

Activities in the world market have a strong bearing on our trade performance.

These world market influences include:

weaknesses in traditional markets
the strengthening of the Australian dollar
the growth of the knowledge economy
the increasing demand for high-value services
continuous changes driven by technological advances
shifting consumer preferences
increasing affluence in previously commodity buying countries
liberalisation of markets
the increasing importance of reductions in the supply chain.

Tasmanian exporters must be responsive to the change necessitated by these activities.
