confidence in Queensland’s position, stating, “Queensland is an export powerhouse.

“In 2021-22, Queensland’s agricultural exports were valued at $10.7bn.”

With the FF2M program and strategic partnerships like the one between TSBE and Meat and Livestock Australia, the state is poised for even greater success in the international arena.

Queensland as a whole is a significant producer of beef domestically and recognised globally as a world leading exporter of highquality beef.

The industry represents a large percentage of the total value of Queensland’s primary industry commodities, contributing $1bn annually and supporting around 10,000 jobs across Queensland.

The Darling Downs plays a pivotal role in the production of grain-fed beef, accounting for 60 per cent of Australia’s supply.

Our region boasts a rich agricultural landscape, supported by a thriving community of dedicated producers.

“With this investment from the Queensland Government and strategic partnership with MLA, regional Queensland is wellpositioned to leverage its exceptional produce and expand its global market reach,” says TSBE CEO Greg Bowden.

“TSBE looks forward to spearheading this exciting endeavour and delivering outstanding regional products to discerning consumers worldwide.”

Considering the significance of the industry in Queensland and the value it creates for the economy, the jobs it supports and the fact we export to more than 50 countries, our beef industry has a limited market presence of grain fed beef in the United States.

This represents a significant opportunity to grow Queensland’s market share of grain fed beef into the US market and presents a substantial prospect to increase Queensland’s overall exports and create further international trade related jobs.
