| David Foote on the future for Australia's red meat sectorFriday 25 October 2024Australia’s red meat industry has come through a turbulent 18-month period. Long-range weather forecasts in mid-2023 prompted rapid de-stocking of properties, only for seasonal conditions to improve and, with it, increased demand (and prices) for cattle.

Producers have also faced the uncertainty of environmental regulations by offshore trading partners impacting land management practices and trade prospects – what one trading market calls land clearing is what Australians describe as active land management. Join us on October 25 to hear from leading figure in Australia’s cattle and red meat industry, David Foote on the key opportunities and threats facing Australia’s $16 billion cattle sector.
