26 November 2021
The red meat and livestock industry’s ability to adapt and respond to significant challenges over the past 12 months has positioned the sector strongly in the global market, according to Meat & Livestock Australia’s 2021 State of the Industry report released today.
The report provides an overview of Australia’s red meat and livestock industry, including figures on production, consumption, exports, the economic significance of the industry, attitudes to red meat and key issue snapshots.
MLA managing director Jason Strong said overall Australia’s red meat and livestock industry was in fantastic shape with minimal disruptions through the global pandemic thanks to years of innovation and hard work from red meat producers.
Over many years we have worked on improving what we do, building relationships and diversifying our red meat markets which meant as the impact of the global pandemic arose, we were able to ride it out with minimal disruptions to export volumes and values, especially relative to other industries.
