The Rendering Situation in Australia

Transcription

1 The Rendering Situation in Australia 75 th NRA Convention Presentation by Tim Juzefowicz ARA Vice President 29 th October 2010

2 Presentation Overview Overview of the Australian Rendering Industry The Australian Renderers Association The Australian Rendering Industry Market Recent and ongoing ARA Activities ARA Workshops Australian Rendering Industry Benchmarking Study AUS/NZ Joint Marketing Partnership Accreditation of rendering plants 11 th ARA International Symposium Challenges

3 Overview of the Australian Rendering Industry ~100 Rendering plants employing people Produces ~1,200,000 tonnes of product Value of products ~$800 million ~30-35% of protein meals exported ~65% of tallow exported ~Value of exports $400 million

4 The Australian Renderers Association 63 rendering establishments accredited by the ARA including Service and Abattoir renderers The ARA have listed 2 plants for the Collection, Processing and Recycling of Fats and Oils for use in feed material The ARA represents 102 of the 114 rendering plants ARA represents 54 of the 95 rendering companies ARA plants account for ~80% of Australian production

5 The Australian Rendering Industry Market Global Recession did not affect trade Animals don t know the recession Strong economy with high value of AUS $ Meat protein consumption in Asia good Local demand strong with increases in all rendered products Market steady if not flat Lower kill rates over the last 12 months (restocking, increased live exports, better pastures, better wool value)

6 The Australian Rendering Industry Market Export volumes down due to lower supply and high $A. US collecting demand and price benefit. Big increases in exports to China but down in Indonesia (USA & Canada competition) Poultry meal exports are well up due to use in pet and aqua feeds Blood meal static Very good Prices in last 12 months for poultry and MBM, flat on blood meal and healthy feather meal Excellent prices for fats and oils

7 ARA Workshops First workshop conducted in August 1991 and was preceded by the first symposium held also in August 25 workshops have been conducted with 677 people accredited and ~700 who have attended Lead Lecturer Bill Spooncer and Peter Husband as primary support All attendees are tested through an examination to confirm competence

8 ARA Workshops Rendering Plant Training HACCP, Salmonella, GMP, Rendered Products, Laboratory Testing, Plant Process and Equipment workshops Training provided to Plant Operations people, Customers and Regulators. Reference Hygienic Rendering of Animal Products Australian Standard AS5008 & The ARA Code of Practice

13 Benchmarking Resource Use in The Rendering Industry Rendering plants are essential to the community manage large volumes of animal by-products manufacture animal protein meal fats & oils BUT. Rendering plants are big users of resources Gas, Electricity, Water Rendering plants discharge large quantities of GHG (CO2) and effluent

16 AUS/NZ Joint Marketing Partnership Early 2009 ARA & NRG conducted China and Philippines i promotional visits it for rendered d products. Chinese experiences of using rendered products in dietary formulations Pig and poultry diets Use in aquaculture Generating profit from use of rendered products

17 ARA Rendering Plant Accreditation Program

18 ARA 11th International Symposium Sydney Exhibition & Convention Centre Darling Harbour 28th & 29th July 2011

19 ARA 11th International Symposium Draft Program Drivers of tallow demand and price Investment for growth Investment strategies for cost control Opportunities for International marketing specialty protein meals Rendering investment strategies in Brazil Fire risk control protecting investments. Pet food ingredients now and for the future Heat recovery applications And more..

20 Challenges The Climate Crisis and now another tax? Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)? Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS)? Carbon Tax? "the government has neither studied nor explained thoroughly enough why such a carbon tax is needed, how effective and fair it is and how the payments are to be used." Increasing energy, water and waste charges

21 Challenges The rendering industry needs to make clear to regulators the comparative value of the industry to the environment and society. Consideration to $ cost of finished products ie: Gold mining $/oz vs Rendering c/kg Consideration to process & product evaluation ie: gold a luxury and rendering an essential service
