New market access and improved market access 

Market access for horticulture products to international markets is gained through negotiation between the Australian Government and the governments of our trading partners. Hort Innovation’s role in these negotiations is via the administration of an independent panel that acts on behalf of the horticultural sector to provide transparent, unbiased and consistent market access advice to the Australian Government; the International Market Access Assessment Panel.

This page outlines the role and function of the panel, outlines the process Industries must follow and provides a portal for industries to make market access applications.

If you would like more information or if you are thinking of making an application, we encourage you to contact Mila Bristow, General Manager Trade and Biosecurity R&D by email. Engagement between your industry and Hort Innovation ensures your industry will be in the best position to make a successful application to the panel.
