Red meat processing economic reform

This project commissioned ACIL Allen Consulting (ACIL Allen) to review the case for regulatory reform on 10 issues affecting red meat processing with a view to outlining a better way for the Australian red meat processing sector to successfully pursue regulatory reform.

The 10 issues which affect the ability of the red meat industry to sustain and increase the value are: Labour, energy, market access, water and waste, technology/automation/productivity, regulatory burden, packaging, security of supply, consumer trends and education and animal welfare. 

This project delivered a roadmap to highlight next steps in industry focus overtime, a set of policy positions for short term focus, and an assessment tool to enable this work to be repeatable in a cost-effective manner.
