Queensland food and beverage exporters are strengthening their global presence by showcasing premium produce at two of Asia’s leading industry trade events — Foodex Japan, in Tokyo, and AAHAR 2026, in New Delhi.
Supported by Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ), delegations of Queensland producers are meeting international buyers, distributors and hospitality leaders while promoting the quality, innovation and traceability that define the state’s agricultural exports.
From premium beef and macadamias to honey, condiments and value-added foods, these international events provide a platform for Queensland businesses to build new commercial partnerships and expand into high-growth markets across Asia.
These activities form part of TIQ’s ongoing work positioning Queensland as a trusted global supplier of premium food and agricultural products.
