Today, we are very pleased to broaden our commodity stable to also include the Australian pork industry,&#8221; Mr Laurie said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;APL joins the 25 NFF members at the decision-making table, ensuring the needs of Australian pork producers are represented at the national level. We are thrilled to welcome APL into the NFF family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>APL is a producer-owned organisation that supports and promotes the Australian pork industry by<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The delivery of services to improve the viability of pork producers<\/li>\n<li>Growing opportunities for the pork industry via marketing, innovation and policy development, and<\/li>\n<li>Representing the industry on both the domestic and international fronts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Our role is to provide programs and services to help improve the sustainability and profitability for Australian pork producers, and to represent their interests,&#8221; APL CEO Mr Andrew Spencer said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Increasingly, what our producers are finding is that the issues that affect them \u2013 from regulation to labour to animal welfare to trade reform \u2013 are occurring on a national, cross commodity level. Issues that affect Australian pork producers are, in many cases, affecting all Australian farmers, which is why we have today joined the NFF.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The ability for Australian farmers to work collaboratively on solutions to some of the major issues facing the farming sector, and indeed Australian agriculture as a whole, is critical to the continued success of the sector. Together we can achieve more for agriculture than if we worked alone.<\/p>\n<p>The NFF says the Australian pork industry employs more than 20,000 people in Australia and contributes $2.8 billion in gross domestic product to the Australian economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australian Pork Limited (APL) has joined the the National Farmers\u2019 Federation as a Commodity Council member.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5,3,36],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.11 -
