Tasmanian vegetables are finding their way onto more overseas plates.
Vegetable exports from Tasmanian farmers are increasing as the falling value of the Australian dollar makes locally grown products more affordable.
The latest trade figures show the value of Australia’s vegetable exports have jumped by five per cent in the last year.
During the 2014-2015 financial year vegetable exports increased to $270 million, up from $256 million the previous year.
Tasmanian vegetable company Harvest Moon is experiencing increased demand, with managing director Neil Armstrong saying the lower value of the Australian dollar had made a significant difference in the competitiveness of locally grown vegetables.
Across the country carrot exports had jumped 10 per cent in the past year and cauliflower and broccoli 60 per cent.
