\n\u201cWe know our exporters have faced big hurdles in recent months, especially in regional areas also affected by bushfires and drought,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.
\n\u201cApplications for the Going Global program can be submitted now, and the Export Assistance Grants application will be available soon. I urge small and medium-sized firms in regional areas and across NSW to apply.\u201d
\nGraham Gilmore from Black Springs-based agribusiness TattyKeel, said exporting was a great way for regional businesses to stay competitive and build resilience, despite the challenges of COVID-19.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re a family farm that\u2019s changing the boundaries. We\u2019re doing R&D and we\u2019re actually creating a new product that\u2019s got some pretty unique eating qualities,\u201d Mr Gilmore said.
\n\u201cDeveloping markets overseas is an important part of our plan to support that work.\u201d
\nTattyKeel\u2019s innovative new brand Margra Lamb is among the enterprises profiled in\u00a0Buy Regional<\/a>.
\nIn addition to the initiatives announced today, export advisors remain available to assist business in regional locations throughout the State and, under the Global NSW strategy, the Government is expanding its network of trade and investment offices around the world from 11 to 21.
