November 11 - 2009 - Year of achievement
Australia's pork industry is finally enjoying better times with rising pig prices, falling grain prices and a very welcome return to profitability, a situation that's been enhanced by some vitally important research from the Pork Cooperative Research Centre (CRC).
Reflecting on its achievements throughout the 2008/09 year, Pork CRC CEO, Dr Roger Campbell, said its work had gone a long way to reducing the industry's costs, improving efficiency and making Australia's pork industry more internationally competitive.
"In marked contrast to the rest of the world, where prices have remained low because of the global economic downturn and possibly consumer concerns about the H1N1 virus, Australia's pork industry is looking forward to better times," Dr Campbell said.
