Australian beef output expected to bottom out in ’03
03/02/2003
Citing the current drought, the marketing organisation Meat & Livestock Australia Ltd has forecast a drop in the country’s beef production and exports this year.
The prediction is one of several contained in the MLA annual forecasting document, issued today. And though the document says it expects the rains to return within the next few months, the effects of the drought will continue to be felt for several years.
