The Australian processing industry is acknowledged for its historical ability to continually conceptualise, evaluate and adopt new ideas (especially internally focused ideas and deployments). The recent Cost to Operate report has further demonstrated that Australia is (1) the highest processing manufacturing country compared to its main competitors and (2) that the opportunities to reduce these costs required both a domestic and international large scale innovation driven solution to ensuring Australia can remain a competitive processing country and ideally lose the title of the world’s most expensive country in which to process meat.
