Focus area: Market access
Program stream: International competitiveness
Project number: 2019-1020
The objective of this project was to provide state based red meat (beef) processing costs for New South Wales and Queensland to better understand the cost pressures facing red meat processors and provide recommendations to reduce the sectors costs.

As part of the project, data was gathered and analysed to identify operating costs for New South Wales and Queensland. It determined that the biggest component for operating costs in beef processing is associated with labour-related costs.
