The Sheepmeat Council of AUstralia (SCA) is developing the 2015-2020 Sheep Industry Strategic Plan (SISP).
According to the peak industry body, the success of the sheepmeat industry during the last two decades is a result of a co-ordinated supply chain approach. The industry continues to strive through industry strategic planning and collaboration to be the leading supplier of lamb and sheepmeat to a world with growing demand for our premium product.
SCA is currently developing the SISP to provide a vision for the sheep industry for 2015-2020 and support the continued growth of the industry.
The plan will support the overarching framework, the Meat Industry Strategic Plan (MISP), developed by the Red Meat Advisory Council (RMAC) and strategies which guide individual agencies, corporations and entities servicing the sheepmeat industry. It will guide direction, key priority areas, performance indicators of industry success, investments in research, development and extension and linkages to other industry plans.
The SISP will provide a blueprint for industry and government investments in:
- Market growth and diversification strategies;
- Industry food safety and quality assurance systems;
- Animal health, wellbeing and biosecurity programs;
- On-farm productivity and supply chain efficiency;
- Industry leadership, capacity and capability.
