澳大利亚红肉畜牧行业宣布成立印尼活牛产业专项工作组，该战略咨询机构旨在深化双方合作、引导产业投资，稳固印尼这一澳大利亚首要活牛出口市场。

该工作组将与由澳大利亚肉类畜牧业协会及澳活畜出口服务机构联合出资、前者负责运营管理的活畜出口项目紧密协作，重点围绕动物健康福利、生物安全、供应链效率及长期市场准入开展工作。

由澳肉类畜牧业协会任命的工作组主席格雷格·潘克赫斯特表示，此举彰显行业携手助力本土产业与印尼合作方协同发展的共同决心。

他表示，印尼是澳大利亚北部肉牛养殖户的重要合作伙伴，澳洲活牛与牛肉产品为印尼粮食安全及供应链稳定提供有力支撑。

工作组汇聚行业实操经验与战略视野，助力制定惠及养殖户、出口商及印尼采购方的相关方案。

内容涵盖持续引领动物福利建设、提升育肥场生产效率、加深与印尼政企各界交流合作，保障双边活牛贸易长期平稳发展。

印尼牛肉市场供给依托本土生产与进口两大渠道，约一成九的牛肉货源来自进口澳洲牛只，在当地育肥屠宰加工而成。

该贸易模式创造就业岗位，带动饲料及农资农户增收，助力地方经济发展。

潘克赫斯特称，澳大利亚是印尼值得信赖的牛肉供应方，巩固双边合作意义重大。

工作组将协助两大机构统筹项目规划，贴合印尼市场实际需求，确保活畜出口项目资金投放精准高效，依托行业协作落地见效。

工作组将输出专业战略建议，对接上下游商户，梳理市场现存难题，推进互利合作，完善养殖福利体系、提升商业效益、稳固市场口碑，同时跟进项目投资成效，挖掘双边共赢发展机遇。

工作组成员涵盖澳洲北部肉牛产业及活畜出口全产业链各界代表，人员架构均衡全面。

成员包括协会委任主席、澳洲肉牛行业协会与北领地牧农协会推选的养殖端代表、澳活畜出口理事会推选的出口商代表，以及两大行业机构派驻人员。

工作组内设秘书处统筹日常事务与统筹管理，全面吸纳养殖端、出口端及项目执行方意见，保障各项战略建议贴合行业实际。

The Australian red meat and livestock industry has announced the establishment of the Indonesia Live Cattle Industry Taskforce, a strategic advisory body designed to enhance collaboration, guide investment and strengthen outcomes in Australia’s most important live cattle export market.

The Taskforce will work closely with the Livestock Export Program (LEP), which is jointly funded by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) and LiveCorp, and administered by MLA. It focuses on improving animal health and welfare, biosecurity, supply chain efficiency and long-term market access.

Taskforce Chair Greg Pankhurst, who has been appointed by MLA, said the initiative reflects a coordinated commitment to supporting both Australian industry and Indonesian partners.

“Indonesia is a vital partner for northern Australian cattle producers, while our cattle and beef help underpin both food security and the resilience of Indonesian supply chains,” Mr Pankhurst said.

“The Taskforce brings together experience, practical knowledge and strategic insight so that we can help shape programs that benefit producers, exporters and our Indonesian customers.

“This includes continued leadership in animal welfare, greater productivity in feedlots, stronger engagement with Indonesian government and industry and the long-term stability of the trade.”

Indonesia’s beef market relies on a combination of domestic production and imports, with around 19% of beef supplies produced from imported Australian bred cattle finished in Indonesian feedlots.

This provides direct employment and supports smallholder farmers who sell feed and other inputs, bolstering local communities.

Mr Pankhurst said Australia is a trusted supplier for Indonesian customers and strengthening this partnership is essential.

“The Taskforce will help MLA and LiveCorp ensure that programs align with Indonesia’s needs. Our priority is to ensure that investments through the LEP are well targeted, effective and backed by strong collaboration with industry.

“It will provide strategic advice, engage with producers and exporters, review market challenges and support partnerships that improve welfare, commercial outcomes and community confidence, and monitor progress of LEP investments to identify future opportunities which benefit both countries.”

The Indonesia Live Cattle Industry Taskforce brings together a balanced group of representatives from across the northern Australian cattle and the live export supply chain.

Membership includes a Chair appointed by MLA, representatives from cattle producers nominated by Cattle Australia and the Northern Territory Cattlemen’s Association, exporter representatives nominated by the Australian Livestock Exporters’ Council, and organisational representatives from both LiveCorp and MLA.

The Taskforce also includes an MLA Secretariat to support coordination and governance. This structure ensures that producer, exporter and program delivery perspectives are all reflected in the Taskforce’s advice and strategic guidance.
