Summary

​Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) funded a producer survey and analysis of the cost of production for the sheep meat and beef industries as one of the key performance indicators of the MLA strategic plan. The data was collected via a supplementary survey to AAGIS (Australian Agricultural and Grazing Industries Survey) 2008. These were used to estimate the direct and overhead costs associated with the beef and sheep production in the cost of production calculators for beef and sheep.​
