Regional Victoria Goes Global Victoria prides itself on being recognised as a reliable and competitive producer of quality food and beverages for the world stage. Strong growth in the State’s food and wine sector, our proven commitment to deliver on food integrity and Victoria’s proximity to key markets has generated international success. The food industry is a key component of Victoria’s economy. Victorian food and beverage exports were valued at $5.6 billion in 2007-08. This accounts for over a quarter of Australian food exports.

These are consumers looking for new brands and products that can stimulate their sophisticated palates and yet also be trusted to increasingly deliver health and wellness benefits.
