Summary

Opportunity/Business case

Australian red meat exports to Greater China were trending up considerably as we entered into FY24. So far in 2023, Australian beef exports were up 33%, Australian lamb exports up 41% and mutton exports up 94% compared year-on year (YOY).

Greater China was the largest market by volume for both beef and sheepmeat. With a strong supply environment there was significant potential to position Australian red meat for market and customer expansion as well as increase brand penetration with consumers. 


Retail and ecommerce channels represent an important and rapid growing opportunity for Australian meat in the market.

Objectives
