Liberal Party Pledges $5.5M for Export Ready Program

0:00In Adelaide, it's March 3rd, and here's what is going on. The South Australian Liberal Party has pledged $5.5 million to revive the Export-Ready Program. This initiative aims to help local businesses break into international markets and grow their operations if the party wins the next state election. The program would offer hands-on support like in-person and online training workshops on export basics. It includes personalized mentoring, master classes, a digital knowledge hub with webinars and an advice line, plus networking events for partnerships. Party leaders say South Australia has strong businesses facing tough barriers overseas. Reviving this would boost jobs, economic growth, and resilience against local market issues like oversupply or bad weather. They also plan to bring back the South Australian Export Market Development Grant. Businesses could get up to $50,000 to cover costs for adapting products, trade missions, promotions, and meeting foreign regulations.

A Liberal government would back exporters with extra funds like low-cost loans for rural sectors to keep putting the state on the global map.
