Improving industry and market information

Promise

Provide effective, independent, targeted market information that meets stakeholder needs and assists with planning, decision making and performance management.

Progress

MLA Market Information has evolved over the past decade from providing a 'bare bones' statutory livestock-oriented information service to one with an expanded breadth and depth of coverage and a whole-of-supply-chain perspective.

Performance

The $45.2m invested by the MLA Market Information program has provided the red meat and livestock industry with a comprehensive set of independent sources of market information to help fill gaps and inform decisions, with total benefits conservatively valued at $255m.
