Export programs
Food and Fibre Trade Pavilion (Vic House – China)
The Victorian Food and Fibre Trade Pavilion (Vic House) is an innovative in-market promotional facility in Shanghai, developed to showcase Victoria’s broad agricultural, food and beverage capabilities to the state’s largest global export partner, China.
Vic House provides Victorian exporters with a unique opportunity to:
- conduct targeted product tasting and testing in-market
- undertake virtual business meetings with importers and retailers
- grow their business through new export opportunities
- maintain existing relationships and develop new networks in China
- promote existing brands, and new and seasonal products
- support entry into the China market.
Vic House provides Victoria with the opportunity to consolidate its strong position in the critical China market and recover lost market share due to global market disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Victorian Government is providing Vic House as a free platform to support Victorian businesses.
For more information about Vic House or the application process, contact Global Victoria at info@global.vic.gov.au
We would love to learn more about your business and interest in participating in the Vic House program.
