For SunRice Group, exporting Australian-grown rice and food products to more than 50 markets is central to our business. The Export Council of Australia (ECA) plays an important role in elevating the profile of businesses like ours and recognising the strength and diversity of Australian exporters. Our engagement with the ECA, particularly through the Export Awards program, has highlighted the value of bringing exporters together to share insights, learn from one another’s experiences, and strengthen Australia’s position in global markets. Recognition through initiatives like the Export Awards also shines a light on the regional communities and growers who underpin our supply chain and make our export success possible.
