AgForce Cattle President
Will Wilson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 17, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

AgForce has welcomed the Red Meat Advisory Council\u2019s vision for a $57 billion industry outlined in the “Red Meat 2030” strategy, provided there is more producer involvement and benefit.<\/p>\n

Red Meat 2030, previously known as MISP, is an industry-led 10-year strategy to create a profitable, environmentally sustainable, customer-focused red meat businesses that includes cattle, sheep and goats.<\/p>\n

Cattle President Will Wilson led AgForce\u2019s role in the development of Red Meat 2030.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is pleasing that all elements of the supply chain \u2013 from producers right through to processors and exporters \u2013 are continuing to work together for the betterment of the sector, rather than in competition,\u201d Mr Wilson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many positives in the strategy, including a user-led approach that will improve extension and adoption of best practice, better biosecurity and food safety, improved market access, and welcome acknowledgment that safeguarding the environment is not only the right thing to do but makes good business sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

AgForce Sheep & Wool President Alan Rae also commended the much sharper focus on the consumer.<\/p>\n

\u201cGenuine two-way communication with customers will ensure a better understanding of their preferences, enabling us to provide a superior consumer experience, and an appreciation of their perceptions of red meat,\u201d Mr Rae said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is important to building the community\u2019s understanding of our products and industry \u2013 particularly in relation to diet and health, animal welfare and the environment \u2013 and strengthen our \u2018social licence\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Mr Wilson said the downside of the whole-of-supply chain approach was that producers, despite being fundamental to the industry and paying the majority of levies, had not been adequately recognised in the strategy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Red Meat 2030 targets a doubling the value of red meat sales, there is no mention of improving on-farm profitability or economic resilience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cProducers need to be recognised for the vital role we play in the supply chain; without our product there is nothing to consume and no one can add value.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that the inadequate acknowledgement of producers\u2019 critical contribution in Red Meat 2030 was a result of the unsatisfactory engagement process undertaken by RMAC.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was largely due to the persistence of AgForce, representing Australia\u2019s largest grass-fed cattle industry, that Queensland producers were able to influence the strategy as much as they did.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe clearly need to do more to ensure our concerns are addressed during implementation of the strategy and in any future iterations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Red Meat 2030 will be one of the key topics discussed at the AgForce Cattle Board\u2019s open industry event, “What\u2019s Your Beef”, which is being held near Kumbia, on November 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All beef producers, whether AgForce members or not, have been invited to attend the event\u00a0at ‘Cardowan’ at 1563 Ironpot Road.<\/p>\n

Industry experts, including MLA managing director Jason Strong, will participate in sessions designed to update attendees.<\/p>\n

The Cattle Forum will run from 10:30am to 5:00pm and will be followed by drinks and a barbecue.<\/p>\n
