The Albanese Labor Government welcomes China lifting the remaining suspensions on two Australian meat processing establishments, paving the way for full resumption of red meat exports to China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This development follows the lifting of suspensions on eight beef processing facilities over the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Government has consistently advocated for the final two establishments in Queensland to be able to resume exports into China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
China is the second largest market for Australian beef and veal after the United States. The removal today of the final two suspensions marks a return to business as usual for beef and veal exports, which topped $2.2 billion in 2023-24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today\u2019s announcement follows forecasts that Australia\u2019s red meat exports are set to break records in 2024\u201325.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The boost of red meat exports is forecast to push the overall value of agriculture, fisheries and forestry to $94.3 billion, the second highest on record, according to the latest data from the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This is great news for Australian exporters, producers and farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Since we were elected we’ve worked tirelessly to resume trade and that’s exactly what we are seeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It’s a win for trade and a win for Australian jobs \u2013 something my Government will always back.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe removal of all impediments on Australian beef exports to China affirms the calm and consistent approach taken by the Albanese Labor Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Government will continue to support Australian businesses to sell their world-class products on the global stage, including through efforts to diversify and expand trade markets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are close to the point where China\u2019s trade impediments which impacted $20 billion worth of Australian exports have all been removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe removal of trade impediments has not only saved, but also created thousands of new jobs in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBeef producers in Queensland, wine makers in South Australia, and barley growers in Western Australia, have all benefited from this Government\u2019s steady hand on the trade tiller.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI welcome today\u2019s news by China and thank our red meat industry and Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry officials who have worked so hard to get this outcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cConcerted engagement and advocacy with our largest trading partner have been rewarded with the lifting of suspensions on all Australian meat export facilities in the past 12 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn 2023-24, Australia exported over 70 per cent of its agricultural, fisheries and forestry production to 169 markets globally \u2013 the most diversified trade has ever been. This is thanks to our Government.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
