EXPORTS of coal, LNG and beef have been flagged as reasons for an increase in value of Queensland exports in the 12 months to November 2018.
Trade figures for the 12 months to November 2018 showed Queensland’s goods exports at $80.5bn, a record 12-month total, according to the government, and 12.4% higher than the $71.6bn total for the same period a year earlier.
The November figure was also a rise from the $79.bn in the 12 months to October 2018.
Acting Premier and trade minister Cameron Dick said the strong growth of exports in November was excellent news.
“Queensland continues to export more goods than New South Wales and Victoria combined,” Minister Dick said.
Mr Dick said export prices for Queensland’s two most valuable exports, coal and liquefied natural gas, had increased markedly during the past two years, driving the total value of Queensland’s goods exports higher.
