Tops Partners with Australian Embassy and Austrade to Launch “Discover Australia: Six States of Excellence” in Phuket

On 21 March 2026, Tops, in collaboration with the Australian Embassy and the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), will host the “Discover Australia: Six States of Excellence” festival in Phuket. The event will showcase premium ingredients from six renowned Australian states, bringing a diverse range of products directly to local consumers and businesses in Phuket. The festival aims to strengthen trade relations and introduce high-quality Australian foods to the Thai market.

Australian Ingredients Festival Debuts in Phuket

The “Discover Australia: Six States of Excellence” festival marks a significant partnership between Tops, the Australian Embassy, and Austrade. The event, set to take place on 21 March 2026, will feature ingredients sourced from New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, and Tasmania. Visitors in Phuket will have the opportunity to experience and purchase a curated selection of Australian products, including dairy, meat, seafood, and fresh produce.

Strengthening Australia-Thailand Trade Relations

By hosting this festival in Phuket, Tops and its partners aim to boost trade and cultural exchange between Australia and Thailand. The collaboration with the Australian Embassy and Austrade highlights the importance of food exports in bilateral relations. According to Austrade, Australian food exports to Thailand reached over AUD 1 billion in 2025, with demand for premium ingredients continuing to grow in the region. The festival is expected to attract local chefs, restaurateurs, and food enthusiasts looking for new culinary inspirations.

What’s Next for Phuket’s Culinary Scene

The “Discover Australia: Six States of Excellence” festival is part of a broader initiative to introduce international flavors to Phuket’s dynamic food market. Following the event, Tops and its partners plan to evaluate the response from consumers and stakeholders, with the possibility of expanding similar festivals to other regions in Thailand. Organisers will also monitor the impact on local businesses and explore further opportunities for collaboration with Australian producers. More information about future events and participating products will be announced later this year.
