The 2025 Neogen World Angus Forum will highlight genetic advancements, sustainability and trade opportunities, positioning Australia at the forefront of the $500 billion beef industry.
“The 2025 World Angus Forum is a defining moment for the global beef industry—bringing together the world’s leading breeders, scientists and investors to drive the next decade of Angus genetics, sustainability and trade,” Erica Halliday, Chair, World Angus Forum said.
“With Australia at the forefront of breeding innovation and carbon-neutral beef production, this forum will set new standards for efficiency, profitability and environmental stewardship across international markets.”
Australia’s role as the world’s second-largest beef exporter significantly impacts international markets, with Angus beef being a key player in exports to North America, Europe and Asia. The forum aims to explore market trends and growth projections in high-value markets, along with emerging trade agreements that may boost Angus beef exports.
“This forum will shine a spotlight on the value of potential investments in Australian Angus genetics, cutting edge research and genetic innovations,” said Scott Wright, CEO, World Angus Forum.
“It’s a pivotal time to bring together leaders in international agribusiness, government and cattle breeders to discuss the future particularly given the current global political environment and it’s influence on trade.”
The event will feature advancements in breeding and genomic selection, data driven marketing for livestock, and advances in methane research and trends in carbon neutral farming, all aimed at enhancing productivity and profitability. Angus farmers are actively using data, feed innovations and genetic selection to mitigate methane emissions and improve feed efficiency.
Key industry leaders, including top executives from Angus Beef Processors including JBS, Teys Australia, Jacks Creek, Thomas Food Industries and NH Foods, will be joined by export market leaders and technology innovators. The forum will also provide insights from agribusiness analysts, trade specialists and economic forecasters on the premium beef sector and global supply chain disruptions.
Angus Australia’s strategic role in genetics research, breeding programmes and international partnerships will be spotlighted at the forum. Highlighted events include the Elite Female Sale and Angus on Ice Genetics Sale, showcasing superior genetics that will drive future herd performance worldwide.
“The Angus sector in Australia aims to be at the forefront of innovation globally, and hosting this event puts us in a prime position to showcase our leadership.”
