Join us for a targeted breakfast session alongside Fine Food Australia, bringing export-ready Victorian food and beverage businesses face-to-face with international buyers already in market.
Hear directly from key buyers and market representatives from North America and Southeast Asia, and make the most of networking and business matching before the exhibition floor opens.
Whether you're exhibiting or just attending Fine Food Australia, this is your chance to make the most of the international buyers already in Melbourne.
About the Victorian Exporter Breakfast
Fine Food Australia draws international buyers from across the globe, all in Melbourne to source new products, meet suppliers and spot emerging food and beverage trends. Global Victoria is hosting a targeted breakfast session ahead of the exhibition to help Victorian businesses make the most of that rare concentration of buyers in one place.
Expect international market perspectives straight from buyers and trade representatives, covering current opportunities, buyer expectations, and real pathways into key export markets.
You'll also get the chance to sit down for networking and business matching conversations with attending buyers. This session complements Austrade's business matching program, giving Victorian businesses — including those not exhibiting — another direct line to international buyers and a broader export network.
