King River tops in awards

Now in their 34th year, the Export Awards recognise Queensland businesses for their innovation, resilience and determination as they strive to grow and expand their global footprint.

King River has been named Regional Exporter of the Year at the Export Awards.

King River’s attention to detail is evident in every stage of the paddock to plate process, with refined Wagyu breeding and genetics underpinning the King River experience.

With a vision to share this experience globally, King River Wagyu can now be enjoyed in more than 30 countries.

Premier Steven Miles said the Queensland Export Awards are an acknowledgment of every single business and exporter’s hard work in putting our state on the world stage.

“Exports are the engine of this economy. We are a trading state,” Premier Miles said.

Queensland was the first state in Australia to introduce a First Nations category in 2023 and continues to recognise Women in International Business in a dedicated category.

Sobah Beverages, maker of non-alcoholic craft beer, took out the First Nations category while Dr Tracey Seipel, CEO, Seipel Group was awarded the Women in International Business category.

The 13 national category winners will now represent Queensland at the Australian Export Awards, hosted by Austrade, on 20 November in Canberra.
