November 6, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Giant supermarket chain Coles has entered into a new partnership with Sunpork to supply Kingaroy-sourced pork to Queensland shoppers.<\/p>\n

The new arrangement came into place on October 25, with Coles now getting its pork from Sunpork’s Swickers complex in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

A Coles’ spokesperson said the chain’s relationship with Sunpork would not only support Queensland pork farmers but would see a significant reduction in “food miles”, helping Coles\u2019 commitment to sustainability.<\/p>\n

Before this landmark partnership, Coles transported pork to its Queensland supermarkets from other States.<\/p>\n

Coles\u2019 general manager Martin Smithson said it was great news for Queensland customers as well as farmers across the State, and would see a significant investment in the Queensland pork industry in the first year of operations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLocally sourcing pork is a win for Queensland customers and farmers, and importantly helps us achieve a more sustainable future, and supports our aim of helping Australians eat and live better every day,\u201d Mr Smithson said.<\/p>\n

Australian Pork CEO Margo Andrae said Coles’ decision to commence procurement and processing in Queensland for the first time would\u00a0be welcomed by Queensland pork producers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means that food miles will be reduced, and Queensland customers will be provided with high quality, locally grown pork products,\u201d Ms Andrae said.<\/p>\n

Sunpork chief commercial officer Rhys Collins said the partnership with Coles would offer Queenslanders quality and great value pork to feed to their families.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur partnership with Coles gives Sunpork confidence to continue to invest in our business with a firm focus on our people, meeting our sustainability goals and animal welfare targets,\u201d Mr Collins said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
