Review ensures northern beef industry on track for continued growth
The Department of Agriculture and Food’s Northern Beef Futures (NBF) project, which is two years into a five-year term, has initiated an external review to compare progress, achievements and planned activities against the intent of the original Cabinet-approved business case.
The review has involved independent consultants Andrew Huffer and Associates holding discussions with stakeholders from across the supply chain to formulate an understanding of areas of the Northern Beef Futures project that are performing well, and areas where activities and outcomes could be better delivered.
A major component of the Northern Beef Futures project is to investigate new markets and existing supply chains to develop and present new business models to underpin growth, and help achieve industry’s goal to double its value by 2025.
As part of the project’s continuous improvement process, a communications review is also being undertaken by Clarity Communications. It is expected to be completed by December, 2016.
The outcomes of these reviews will be used to refine project activities to better achieve the expected outcomes, and improve communications with stakeholders.
Thank you to all stakeholders who have provided input to the reviews. Your contribution will make a positive difference to the NBF project and growth in the northern beef industry.
