Australian rock lobster producers are also hoping that the visit to Australia by Li Qiang will put an end to crippling sanctions on their exports.
Beijing imposed import sanctions worth $20 billion on Australian products in 2020, after the former coalition government called for an independent inquiry into the origins of COVID-19.
China has ceased bans on exports since Labor came to office in Australia in 2022, with less than $1 billion worth of trade restrictions remaining on rock lobsters and two meatworks.
