CANBERRA, Australia—Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell on Wednesday predicted the final obstacle for exports to China, Beijing’s ban on live lobster imports, will be lifted soon after Chinese Premier Li Qiang visits the country.
The return of lobsters to the Chinese market would be a milestone in the Australian government’s ambition to stabilize bilateral relations since coming to power in 2022.
Farrell said Li becoming the first Chinese premier to visit Australia in seven years on Saturday would remove the final trade barrier on lobsters. “I’d be very confident that the visit this week will result in a very successful outcome for lobster producers,” Farrell added. “I’m very confident that not only will we remove all of the remaining trade impediments, but that we can actually continue to build on our trading relationship with China,” Farrell said.
Farrell was speaking at Wirra Wirra Vineyard in South Australia state, which celebrated its 130th anniversary as a winery on Wednesday.
