The near and medium term opportunity set for the red meat sector
As New Zealand emerges post-Covid it is increasingly clear that many of the old economic certainties that underpinned the red meat sector are starting to change rapidly. From shifting customers preferences, emerging technology, and rising geopolitical tensions, it is increasingly clear farmers, processors and exporters will need to constantly adapt to remain competitive in an increasingly changeable world. To that we will need to understand the challenges and opportunities ahead of us.
