Abstract

The Department of Agriculture and Food Western Australia (DAFWA) has contracted AEC Group Pty Ltd (AEC) to undertake this pre-feasibility study into the creation of new and innovative beef supply chain models in Thailand.

The purpose of this study is to consider the potential industry benefits of diverting existing live export cattle into a dedicated supply chain featuring leading technology and best management practice. A range of potential supply chain models were considered, with detailed analysis focussing on importing, holding, intensively feeding, processing and distributing Western Australian live exported cattle to Thai in-country and regional export markets.

This pre-feasibility study considers the potential for increased competitiveness, market penetration, and value-adding production made possible through the creation of a dedicated international supply chain for WA beef.

It is envisioned this study will serve to inform and lay the foundation for the opportunity, allowing for more detailed feasibility work to be undertaken by private sector proponents.
