Noongar Land Enterprise (NLE) has taken a significant step into international markets, participating in Food & Hospitality Asia 2026 in Singapore—one of the region’s largest global food and beverage trade events.
Held from 21–24 April, the event brought together more than 2,700 exhibitors from over 115 countries and attracted tens of thousands of industry professionals, providing a platform for global engagement and trade development.
NLE CEO Alan Beattie said the event marked an important milestone for the organisation and its members and NLE’s bushfood enterprise.
“The Noongar Land Enterprise Group (NLE) is proud to be attending the Singapore Food and Hospitality Expo as part of our first step into international markets,” Mr Beattie said.
“Supported by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) Western Australian delegation, this marks a significant milestone as we showcase our premium bushfood range and Ngooka honey to the global food and hospitality sector.”
The event provided an opportunity to introduce Noongar products to international buyers, chefs and distributors, while building relationships across the food service industry.
“This opportunity allows us to introduce uniquely Noongar products—grounded in culture, sustainability, and provenance—to chefs, distributors, and industry partners across Asia,” he said.
“Our focus is on building strong relationships within the food service industry, positioning our products as high-quality, distinctive ingredients for modern cuisine.”
Participation in the event reflects NLE’s broader strategy to expand market access and create new pathways for growth.
“It’s an exciting time for NLE as we expand beyond Australia and share the richness of Noongar Boodja with the world,” Mr Beattie said.
“We look forward to what lies ahead as we continue to grow, connect, and create new opportunities through international trade.”
Through international engagement, NLE continues to support its members to access new markets, build partnerships, and showcase the value of Noongar-led enterprise on a global stage.
