Summary
The objective of this work was to estimate the value to the Australian lamb industry of some new technologies which alter the cost of producing lamb on farms.
The analysis had two key parts: First was farm modelling to identify the effect of some new technologies on the cost of producing lamb. This part of the analysis was performed using a whole-farm bio-economic model. The second part of the analysis consisted of industry modelling to estimate the value to the entire Australian lamb industry of the changes in the cost of producing lamb which are derived from the farm modelling.
