Australian seaweed industry delegation to Korea to share learning

The proposal aims to enhance the Australian seaweed industry's expertise by organizing a delegation to Korea, where participants will observe and discuss the country's advanced seaweed industry. Korea's well-established industry, similar in scale to Australia's future aspirations outlined in the Australian Seaweed Industry Blueprint Implementation Plan, offers valuable insights into farm technology and supply chain operations. Discussions with Korean industry representatives will focus on their 'in sea' and 'on land' seaweed culture systems, addressing significant knowledge gaps identified in the Australian context. The delegation's findings will be disseminated through a final report and workshops, fostering new relationships and transferring crucial knowledge to support the growth and development of Australia's seaweed sector.
