AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Yes. The meat processing task force commenced in December 2002. (2) The meat industry task force identified a range of impediments to the further development of processed meat exports. The department is working with relevant government agencies to address these impediments and improve the competitive position of the sector. I note that not all the recommendations of the task force related to the Department of Agriculture; indeed, a range of agencies can cooperate to achieve the implementation of those recommendations. The task force also identified the need for a review of the supply chains for processed meat. This review was completed by the Department of Agriculture. The industry responded positively to the results of the review, and confidence in the future for the export of processed meat has improved considerably. The review has also resulted in increased synergies between the pastoral and agricultural beef-producing regions. (3) The government is not privy to the details of E.G. Green and Sons’ demise. The company’s administrator will provide a report in due course.
