In particular it shows how government scientists and other officers, through involvement in exporting government services, can gain and maintain important scientific Knowledge, and access genetic material from overseas. These activities may be vital for the establishment of new industries, as well as maintaining production efficiency in the private sector. The article further illustrates, through a case study, the unique role for government in assisting the private sector open up trade opportunities. In the case study example this was facilitated through sourcing overseas technology to treat mangos for fruit fly, and then after extensive testing and acientific work negotiating the removal of quarantine barriers to again access to the lucrative Japanese market
