What’s happening in Australia’s live export trade?
In a recent interview on The Weekly Grill, Patrick Underwood shared his insights on the current state of Northern Australia’s live export industry, discussing the opportunities and challenges shaping the sector today. Topics covered included tightening cattle supply, market conditions in Indonesia, emerging opportunities and the outlook for key export markets across the region.
The conversation also highlighted the resilience of the industry, the importance of maintaining strong trading relationships and the need for ongoing vigilance against biosecurity threats such as foot-and-mouth disease and lumpy skin disease.
For anyone interested in the future of Australian agriculture, regional economies and international food security, it’s a worthwhile discussion that provides a firsthand perspective from someone who has spent decades in the trade.
