New Transport Pathways Open MSA Market Access for Remote Australian Producers
What happened
A new long-distance transport pathway has been rolled out, allowing eligibility for Meat Standards Australia accredited processors. This includes remote areas throughout the Northern Territory and extends eligibility into northern South Australia. The pathway also offers potential market access for producers in northern Western Australia.
Why it matters
The rollout addresses the challenge of getting cattle from remote properties to abattoirs while maintaining eating quality. This strategic move aims to include regions that previously lacked the means to access MSA markets.
