Ninety-five national finalists have been announced for the 63rd annual Australian Export Awards, including several from food and beverage. Winners will be presented on 26 November at a ceremony in Canberra.
Since 1963, the Australian Export Awards have recognised more than 2,000 businesses that have achieved success overseas across a wide range of industries. The awards are presented by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), in collaboration with state and territory partners and sponsors.
Each finalist has already been recognised in their respective state or territory awards and represents the strength of Australia’s export sector, delivering goods and services to international markets.
Together, the finalists employed more than 18,000 people and generated over $4 billion in export earnings last financial year. Nearly half are small businesses with an annual turnover below $10 million, highlighting the vital role small business plays in Australia’s export success.
“This year’s finalists represent the very best of Australian exporters and make a valuable contribution to our economy, employ thousands of Australians, and support communities across the country,” said minister for trade and tourism Don Farrell.

“Australian products, services and people are known across the world and that wouldn’t be possible without the businesses that export them to the world.
