9 Teys Australia Direction Partnerships with key collaborative customers and suppliers-this means aligned supply chains Focus on Meat Standards Australia (maximising value for the supply chain) EU grass and grain Development of a integrated branding strategy

10 Thoughts about the beef industry.. The future of the industry remains bright. Demand for beef will continue to grow (as populations and incomes rise) Two speed economy, high AUD will change what we make and where we sell it Poor state of key developed economies means a focus on new and emerging markets The key issue for Australia is that we remain a competitive supplier (rising costs)

11 Two key factors drive consumption Growth in world population Growth in world GDP 10 billions US$ (trillions)

12 Population growth will be in Asia

13 Global GDP growth will also be in Asia Distribution of additional world GDP (next 10 years) 8% 19% 43% 21% 9%

14 Forecast growth in beef consumption Total growth 14.2 million tonnes cwt (24%) Due to population & income growth alone (no price change) Weeks Consulting Services Pty Ltd
