Trans-Pacific trade deal good for Tas: gov

Tasmanian cheeses, seafood and wine will be among the island state's produce reaching more foreign markets under the new Trans-Pacific Partnership, the Liberal government says.

State Growth Minister Matthew Groom on Tuesday welcomed the inking of the deal between 12 Pacific rim countries, describing it as a "game-changer" for Tasmania, presenting opportunities for investment and trade in key growth sectors including dairy, beef, seafood, wine, manufactured goods, resources and energy.

"The TPP countries include Tasmania's third, fourth and fifth largest trading partners - Japan, Malaysia and Vietnam - making it the most significant trade agreement aside from the China Australia Free Trade Agreement," Mr Groom said.
