Summary
This report provides an estimate of the economic value of benefits realised (or expected) by seed-stock & meat producers from genetics RD&E investment by MLA and its co-investors, against the counter-factual of no MLA investment. Credibility checks are also presented. Attribution of the realised benefits to MLA's investment and the returns to producers are estimated.
A perspective on future MLA investment, along with an assessment of the methodology and findings in terms of future MLA investment activities is provided.
