Australia’s industry has united behind the Live Cattle Growth Plan, an ambitious blueprint for growth and sustainability through to 2035.
Today's launch coincided with the National Farmers' Federation Leaders’ Summit, where Federal Agriculture Minister Julie Collins welcomed the Plan and reaffirmed the Government’s support for Australia’s live cattle trade.
The Plan will help build stronger community support, greater regulatory certainty, increased investment, stronger trade partnerships and continued leadership in animal welfare.
Importantly, it recognises live exports as part of one connected Australian cattle industry, providing valuable market options for producers, strengthening supply chains and supporting regional communities.
But the opportunity extends beyond trade. Live cattle exports also contribute to global food security, community development and stronger international partnerships, particularly with longstanding trading partners such as Indonesia.
The next 10 years are about building opportunity, strengthening resilience and ensuring the industry continues to deliver for Australia and our international partners.
