AMIA has managed to secure some funding to support two mango businesses to export mangoes to the United States of America (USA). As part of this project, AMIA will assist two small to medium sized QLD businesses and accompany them through the US export journey. From accreditation and DAFF audit to liaising with the irradiation facility, Steritech, and US customers. The project will also deliver a growers/exporters guide to the USA, travel for a United States buyer to Queensland and targeted marketing activities in the USA.

If you're interested in being involved, please complete and submit this application before 7 July 2023.
