Phase Out of Live Sheep Exports by Sea – transition assistance: Enhancing Market Demand Grants Program

Grant Description

This Australian Government grant, administered by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry through the Community Grants Hub, supports projects that expand domestic and international market opportunities for Australian sheep products and diversify agri-food exports to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. With a total pool of $4.4 million available over 2025–26 to 2027–28, and individual grants capped at $500,000 (GST exclusive), the program aims to equip the sheep, agriculture, food and fibre industries with actionable knowledge and stronger business-to-business relationships to support the transition away from live sheep exports by sea, ending in May 2028.
