Seafood Industry Australia is pleased with the plan to restart the Australian lobster trade with China. The industry group appreciates the efforts of ministers and officials from both countries in reaching this agreement. The resumption of trade is expected to benefit the Australian seafood industry, including hardworking fishers and coastal communities. The industry also looks forward to the continuation of discussions regarding the Tropical Rock Lobster, despite it being on the protected species list. The resumption of trade is also seen as a step towards achieving the Australian seafood industry's target of growing exports to AUD 2 billion by 2030.
