Invitation: Meat Industry Strategic Plan 2015-2020

Help define the strategic direction of the Australia’s red meat and livestock industry.

Join us to have your say!

South west Queensland cattle, sheep and goat producers and processors are invited to provide their insights to help define the red meat and livestock industry’s strategic direction to 2020.

Charleville will be hosting one of just 12 industry workshops being held across the country, during September and October, on Wednesday 1 October. Join us to have a say in the future of your industry.

Why not stay on for the following day and be part of the Agforce 360 series forum; also being held in Charleville on Thursday 2 October. The 360 series event will begin with a regional dinner on the evening of the 1 October with the forum to follow the next day. The forum will feature key industry speakers, panel discussions and live demonstrations.

The MISP frames the overarching direction of the production, processing and live export sectors of Australia’s beef, sheepmeat and goat meat industries. Its development and delivery is overseen by the industry’s peak representative body, the Red Meat Advisory Council Ltd (RMAC).

RMAC Chairman, Ross Keane, highlighted that the workshops are an important process in ensuring regional priorities and issues are captured in identifying the industry’s greatest challenges and opportunities to 2020, and beyond.

“The supply chain workshops represent ‘new ground’ as far as MISP development is concerned, we haven’t participated in grass-roots consultation such as this in previous years.

“We’re a $16b industry, and we need to ensure that the very people who stand to benefit the most from the successes we can achieve through MISP have a direct line of input to its development”, Mr Keane said.

“This is a 1-in-5-year opportunity, and I encourage those with a direct or indirect stake in our industry to get involved, and help focus our collective efforts on the biggest opportunities and challenges we have in front of us”, Mr Keane concluded.

Please ensure that you register by Monday the 29 September for catering purposes.
