“We need to improve the quality, like the Angus 100 day beef, or premium “We need to export really high quality beef. It needs to be grain fed to get the 12 organic. There is a market for hormone-free, grain fed.” Management, Medium, month supply.” Management, Medium, Meat Company Meat Company

“There is an opportunity for Western Australia to be in ready chilled beef. We need branded beef with a strong Australian story.” Management, Large, “Online gift meat boxes, direct.” Management, Medium, Meat Company Meat Company

”We need research into packaging to extend the shelf life of chilled.” ”Its hard to compete in boxed beef or live. USA and Brazil are both strong.” Management, Large, Meat Company Management, Large, Agribusiness Company

13 Western Australia is well-positioned to grow chilled beef exports to Asia

- Asian chilled beef imports are rising, driven by increasing volumes and growing prices - Asian/Middle East chilled beef import growth is coming across a range of products; however, chilled boneless is the largest - Asian/Middle East chilled beef imports are dominated by Australia and the US - Australia and the United States have captured the “lion’s share” of growth in chilled beef over the past decade - However, the US stands out for driving total export growth over the past five years, while India stands out for rate of growth - Average FOB price to target Asian markets vary by supplier, with Australia appearing to set the pricing lead - Japan, South Korea and the UAE are the key Asian/Mid-East markets for chilled beef - Over the past ten years, value growth in chilled beef meat trade into Asia/Middle East has come from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the UAE - Thailand, Taiwan, the UAE and Saudi stand out for driving growth over the past five years - Average chilled beef import prices vary by country, with Taiwan, South Korea and Japan standing out as a large market paying premium prices - Imported chilled beef consumption and aggregate chilled beef imports appear highly correlated with income per capita; China – in particular – stands out as having strong medium term growth potential - Market share varies by country; Australia is strong in East and South East Asia; the US has pockets of strength, particularly in Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea; India only a force in local markets and some Middle East markets - Western Australia has a potential for further share growth across most markets in Asia/Mid-East - Data supports new high value, premium chilled beef opportunities being initially launched in (1) Hong Kong, (2) South Korea and (3) Japan - As a “Straw Man” for discussion, we identify an export market roll-out plan 14 Asian chilled beef imports are rising, driven by increasing volumes and growing prices
