$4 Million Traceability Grants Open To Boost Australia’s Agricultural Exports

Applications for the fourth round of the Traceability Grants Program will close on 18 February 2026, giving farmers, producers, and industry groups just two weeks left to secure funding.
The program, part of the National Agricultur­al Traceability Strategy 2023–2033, supports collaborative projects that enhance traceability systems in Australian agriculture over the first five years of the strategy.
The Australian Government has committed $4 million to this round, offering grants ranging from $50,000 to $500,000 for projects that:
Align processes and technology to collect data that meets regulatory requirements and pro­vides valuable feedback to farmers.
Support industry adoption of interoperable traceability systems.
Implement communication and education campaigns to boost awareness of agricultural traceability.
Improve systems that track and trace agricul­tural products through export supply chains.
Help exporters remain competitive in global markets.
Encourage more farmers and processors—par­ticularly those handling high-value products— to explore exporting.
Ensure cost-effective solutions by using existing systems and technology wherever possible.
The Traceability Grants Program is part of a broader effort to modernise Australia’s agri­cultural supply chains, providing farmers with the tools to meet regulatory standards while ex­panding opportunities in international markets.
For more information and to apply, visit the Traceability Grants Program website before the deadline on 18 February 2026.
