Where is the Australian beef industry heading over the next decade? What global trends should producers be paying attention to? And how can northern producers position themselves for future opportunities? These are just some of the questions respected market analyst Simon Quilty will tackle at the Mackay All Things Beef Expo on Saturday 4 July.
Following a standout presentation at last year's event, Simon will return to Mackay to share his latest outlook on the cattle market, global demand and the long-term trends shaping Australian beef production.
With more than 35 years' experience in international livestock markets, Simon has worked across key export destinations including the United States, Japan, Korea and Indonesia. His market insights help producers cut through the noise and focus on the trends that matter most.
Attendees can expect practical insights into:
- Australia's cattle market outlook over the next two years and beyond
- The global demand driving beef prices
- Emerging opportunities in export markets
- Why flexibility and producing for quality will be increasingly important
- How producers can make confident, long-term business decisions
While Simon isn't giving away all his predictions ahead of the event, he says the biggest opportunities lie in understanding where global demand is heading and being ready to adapt.
"I think flexibility, understanding the trend of the future, and how to best pivot so you can take advantage of that, will be essential," Simon said.
Known for his engaging presentations and willingness to answer curly questions, Simon encourages producers to come prepared for discussion.
