Launch of Going into Goats
On Wed 31 May Jon Hayes and Scott Sharman attended the national Launch of the Going into goats: Profitable producers' best practice guide where Jon delivered a presentation on global trends in product integrity and production specification for goat producers.
The manual was lunched by Don Heatley, MLA Chairman and David Palmer, MLA Managing Director.
Around 300 people attended the day and there was a lot of positive feedback received from patrons. The roll out of the GiG guide will continue on a state by state basis in the coming months.
With worldwide demand for goat meat expected to continue its rapid climb the Going into goats manual will form an important tool in assisting Australia maintain its position as the largest goat meat export in the world. Even with its rapid export growth, Australia will still be short of meeting the global demand for goat, which in the US alone is forecast to undergo 11.7pc compound growth through to at least 2008.
Australia now has 92pc of the US goat meat market, feeding a Hispanic population tipped to be larger than the nation's African-American population within the next few years.
Australia currently exports 18,000 tonnes of goat meat, worth $77 million.
