Export market for Frozen Boneless Lamb Cut in Australia (11월, 2022)

Australia's meat processors are pushing for all sheep, lambs, and farm goats to be equipped with electronic tags (EID) when they move from properties starting January 1, 2025. This move is to enhance biosecurity and traceability. However, there's a discrepancy between this demand and a draft New South Wales plan, which foresees full traceability for these animals by 2027 or 2028. The Australian Meat Industry Council (AMIC) is advocating for a consistent approach across Australia and is open to a 'no EID tag no buy' policy if necessary. The federal government has shown support for the livestock traceability system, committing over $46.7 million towards its implementation.
