Superb analysis, now hard work begins

The Red Meat Sector Strategy released at the Beehive last week is an impressive document, producing an objective assessment of the problems and opportunities that face the sector, as well as pointing the ways forward for the next five to fifteen years. At the end of that period, assuming everything has happened as recommended (it won’t or can’t!), the industry will have grown by $3.4 billion or more than 50% by 2025.

As one livestock manager said to me, “nothing has changed except the faces” and even some of those are still the same, except older than they were when I was working in the meat industry.
