The TFGA has welcomed the news that a positive conclusion has been reached for the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP).
TFGA CEO Peter Skillern said that the outcome would improve long-term trading conditions for many Tasmanian farmers.
“We understand that the partnership is a positive step for many sectors of the Australian agricultural community, which will inevitably flow through to Tasmania,’’ Mr Skillern said.
“This will help cement Tasmania’s already well established economic relationships with TPP countries like Japan, Malaysia and Vietnam.”
The TFGA also looks forward to hearing the finer details of the arrangement and working with state and federal governments to ensure that the Tasmanian agricultural sector can capitalise on the new opportunities that the partnership will bring.
