Australia claims high demand in Asia for its beef

12/02/2013
Australian livestock and meat operator Australian Agricultural Company (AACo) has said there is a growing opportunity for Autralian beef in the Asian market.

Speaking in Hong Kong in January at the Asian Financial Forum, AACo’s chief executive, David Farley, said consumers in Asia were eating red meat in larger quantities and that his company and others in Australia had good growth prospects across the region.

He said the Australian beef industry was in a stronger position today than at any point in its history.
