59 Challenges to face in the next 12 months-2 years 1. Australian dollar affect on by products & export 2. World economy down turn 3. Climate conditions affect on livestock 4. Lowest livestock numbers on record 5. Consumer spending patterns e.g. price of meat recent lamb price 6. Live export issues and affect on Australian industry 7. Bad debts increasing 8. Abattoir and retail shops shutting down

60 Positives to look forward to 1. High rain fall 2. Good feed conditions in most parts of Australia 3. Farmers restocking 4. M.L.A. promoting meat sales 5. Lamb, beef, and pork are a good food product 6. Australia still has a reputation of producing some of the best meat produce in the world
