China is a key economic partner for Tasmania, accounting for one third of the state’s trade. It's an important market for Tasmania’s exports of minerals, forestry products and a wide range of premium food and agricultural products including seafood, dairy, cherries and meat. Chinese visitors are high-spending and important brand ambassadors for Tasmania’s unique offerings.

ACBC Tasmania partners with industries, government and supports its large and small members with strategy, advice, unique events, in-market promotion and China capability-building.

“As relatively new members of the Australia China Business Council the benefits of joining have been material and immediate. The Canberra Networking Day provided not just outstanding business connections in both Australia and China but recognition of the trade potential of Tasmanian whisky at the highest levels of both countries. The ACBC coordinated, multi-producer Tasmanian Whisky Pavilion at a key Hong Kong trade fair has provided all nine distilleries with immediate opportunities and market exposure that would take months or years to build alone. - Derek Charge, CEO, Hellyers Road Distillery"
