Australian Meat News

Australian Meat News magazine is a trade publication for the Australian meat industry covering the industry including abattoirs, processors and the retail butcher.

Published five times a year since 2002, Australian Meat News has earned a slice of its’ readers time to learn about what’s going on in our industry and reflect their aspirations, needs and plans to run a prosperous business.

In this context, Australian Meat News is a literary signpost that says: Look up that website and find out more; make that phone call; send that email; attend that trade fair; ask about a new training course.

Covering equipment, ingredients, packaging, point of sale, wholesale suppliers and more, Australian Meat News gives the latest news and technology for its readers.

The challenge for the industry is ‘to sell’ the message that meat remains an excellent, value-for-money protein source through good quality products, innovation and communication. Our magazine is with you to remind you to take action for a better meat industry business.

Abattoirs

The abattoir is the first link in the meat industry supply chain, providing quality carcases for both domestic and export markets for red meat, poultry and game. Australia’s meatworks are an exemplary example of quality processing and animal welfare.

Processors

Processors are the ones who provide quality cuts for a range of customers – wholesale meat suppliers, butchers and food manufacturers as carcases or cartons. Many are an extension of the abattoirs providing a paddock-to-plate service for both big and small producers and for a range of species.

Retail

The retail butcher is the customer facing end of the supply chain and sees the trends in food, preparation and public perception of the industry. Providing quality cuts of meat, value-add products and advice, the retail butcher uses machinery, ingredients, equipment, point of sale and more for a successful business.
