A joint proposal to transform the red meat industry written by three of New Zealand’s leading agricultural companies has been given the green light to progress to the next stage towards receiving taxpayer funding.
Silver Fern Farmers, Livestock Improvement and PGG Wrightson’s joint proposal to design a transformation model for the New Zealand red meat sector was today confirmed it had approval to advance to a business plan stage from the Investment Advisory Panel of the government’s Primary Growth Partnership fund.
The proposal considers transforming the red meat industry from a traditional and underperforming model to a true value chain, improving on-farm productivity, optimising processing efficiency and delivering customer-focused products.
It was expected the business plan would be tabled for consideration by the panel within two months.
The Primary Growth Partnership is a joint government and industry initiative created to invest in programmes of research and innovation to boost the economic growth and sustainability of the agribusiness sector.
