- Australians eat four times more beef and six times more sheepmeat compared to the rest of the world
- We employ 405, 000 Australians directly and indirectly
- We contribute 18 billion to the GDP
- We have achieved 11 per cent growth
- We are a network of 75, 000 strong businesses
A copy of the State of the Industry 2017 can be accessed here, and RMAC will happily arrange for a copy to be sent to you or a briefing on the report on request.
The State of the Industry 2017 was officially launched at Australian Parliament House and attended by industry, key members of Cabinet, shadow cabinet, MPs and Senators from both sides of the house and parliamentary advisors. Photos of the launch can be viewed here.
This is a great example of how industry can work better together – an initiative of RMAC’s six members, funded by Meat and Livestock Australia and with input from all Meat Industry Strategic Plan 2020 partners.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me on (02) 6269 5606 or anna@rmac.com.au should you require any further information.
RMAC is proud to play a role in promoting this unique Australian success story and again thanks all those involved.
