Australian Pork Limited (APL) – Pork industry year in review

ANDREW SPENCER CEO, Australian Pork Limited

T

he year just gone has been another challenging one for the industry and Australian Pork Limited (APL).

Resource limitations due to the erosion of our levy income by inflation (as well as the shrinkage of the industry since the profitability crisis of 2007–08) has meant that we have had to adjust how we perform some of those services that are expected of us by our constituents, Australian pork producers.

Nevertheless, there have been some positive and important outcomes for the industry during the past year contributing to our goals for a competitive, sustainable and responsible Australian pork industry.

Market issues Pork prices over the past year have again shown a significantly different trend to what we are traditionally used to. In contrast to the normal dip in prices during the middle of the year, the last two years have seen a much flatter price maintained through the full 12 months.

The new stability that we see is likely due to a number of different factors, including a greater proportion of our production being contracted through dedicated supply chains (itself perhaps facilitated by the different and

4

changing standards of production demanded by major players at the retail end of the market).

Pig slaughter numbers have been slowly growing during the year and has resulted in around 85,700 slaughters more than a year ago (to the end of October), which is growth of around 1.8%.

Pig meat production meanwhile has grown for the calendar year at 2.5%.

The impact of the different standards of pig production being sought by the two major retailers will continue to be felt in the market, but not always in a predictable way.

Compensation for the differentiated product is hopefully one factor supporting prices and will continue to do so.

Export business remains relatively depressed into our most interesting markets, Singapore and New Zealand. The strong Australian dollar and competition from other markets (including from cheap frozen product) continues to limit our opportunities.

“There have been some positive and important outcomes for the pork industry during the past year” Asian and Pacific markets are the destination of higher volumes of lower-value export products such as offal. This results in the total value of our export trade declining.

Imports are as strong as ever, which is disappointing considering that there have been signals in the market that our share of Australian consumer processed pork products may have been increasing.

Movements in trade stocks can provide some explanation of trends in apparent product consumption, so we will be continuing to monitor our successes in securing increases in share of Australian product, especially in the processing sector (ham, bacon and smallgoods) highlighting the significant difference between Australian grown and imported pork.

The differences we will point out will be

2013 PIG INDUSTRY YEARBOOK

things such as higher welfare standards, leading the world on sow stall free, environmentally friendly less carbon foot print and the like; all significant points of difference compared to imported pork.

Global grain market dynamics The most significant concern for the industry looking forward is the steep rise in global grain prices since the end of June. We know that when this last happened in 2007, the industry went through a very stressful period of financial losses resulting in an exodus of producers and 15% of our production base disappearing.

What is clear is that pork prices in the short term unfortunately have almost nothing to do with costs of production. Only when financial strain forces a shift in production volumes will we fully see the price compensation necessary to cover the increase in grain prices.

In our pork industry, this takes some time due to the lag between the decision not to mate a sow and the result in the market the best part of a year later when pig numbers are subsequently reduced.

We will however be trying to build awareness in the market as to the impact of the grain prices on forward supplies. This can hopefully result in more forward contracted buying positions being taken, impacting positively on today’s pig prices.

Strategic plan 2010-2015 Within our present operating environment, there are two significant and noteworthy deviations from the assumptions in the APL Strategic Plan 2010–2015.

Firstly, at the time of drafting the Strategic Plan, there had been an assumption of a marketing levy increase of $0.75 per slaughter pig, to come into effect on the 1st July 2012.

In the discussions at board level leading up to seeking the approval of the industry to this increase, it was decided that a phasing in of the increase over four years was likely to be seen as more acceptable by pig producers.

This has now been achieved with the first tranche of the levy increases of $0.30 per slaughter pig implemented as of the 1st July 2012.

Pork CRC – Different by choice

Dr ROGER CAMPBELL CEO, Australian Pork CRC

A

ustralia’s pork industry fared better than most in 2012, with relatively static prices at reasonable levels and feed costs generally under $350/tonne, although the drought in the USA pushed grain prices considerably higher in the latter part of the year and 2013 will be more challenging.

Indeed, herd feed efficiency will be a major factor determining success in 2013 and Pork CRC research suggests the two areas to concentrate on are using AusScan to measure grain digestible energy (DE) and to ensure grains are processed to maximise energy/nutrient utilisation.

A large grain breeding project conducted across Australia by DAFWA and others further confirmed the massive variability in wheat and barley DE levels and pretty much established that using average or book values in diet formulation is largely a waste of time and almost certainly leads to poor, or unpredictable, growth performance and poor cost effectiveness.

Along similar lines, a number of surveys of milling practices showed that many mills and producers are not grinding their grains adequately, which leads to poor grain utilisation. Based on our knowledge, grains should be milled to an average particle size between 0.65 and 0.75 mm to ensure near maximum feed efficiency.

Pork CRC benchmarking results for 2011-2012 showed that, on average, reproduction is improving, but herd feed efficiency has remained rather static, with the better herds achieving excellence in both areas.

So, we know Australian producers can

achieve world class performance and it is now a matter of getting everybody doing it and this will be the challenge for our benchmarking project in 2013.

The major objective of the CRC for High Integrity Australian Pork is, of course, to work with industry to differentiate Australian pork based on how our pigs are housed and raised (enhanced welfare), the quality of our pork, reducing the carbon foot-print and reducing antibiotic use in the industry.

The four Programs in the CRC for High Integrity Australian Pork are: 1. Confinement free sow and piglet management (Program Leader: Dr Ray King) 2. Herd health management (Program Leader: Dr Brian Luxford) 3. Healthy pork consumption (Program Leader: Dr Darryl D’Souza) 4. Carbon-conscious nutrient inputs and outputs (Program Leader: Dr Rob Wilson) We are already seeing increased demand for pork from sows housed in ‘confinement free’ systems and by differentiating how we produce pork we will have a genuine opportunity to increase demand for Australian fresh pork and to recapture some of the manufacturing market currently dominated by imported pork.

“We know Australian producers can achieve world class performance” I also wouldn’t rule out capturing some of the top end international markets, but this depends on ensuring Australian pork is high integrity and unique.

Initially, the changes will revolve around the housing of gestating sows and we learned from the two group housing solutions workshops held in Toowoomba and Melbourne in 2012 that group housing can be made to work and that there is no single right way of doing it.

I believe the workshops took the fear out of transitioning from stalls to group housing and we’ve since learned that many producers who’ve made the change are achieving their best ever reproduction levels.

The question is which system might provide the greatest market and animal welfare advantages in the longer term and

what are the ‘secrets’ to success in each system.

The Pork CRC R&D program in this area is quite expansive and in 2013 we will provide the industry with the relative welfare and reproductive merits of the industry and Coles definitions of stall-free and, hopefully, identify the constraints and opportunities for each.

We will also inform industry of the effects on sow performance and welfare of factors such as floor space, diets and feeding strategies, mixing strategies and other simple interventions at mixing.

Longer term projects are looking at the genetics of group housing, so much activity is underway and the workshops have allowed the Pork CRC to align with industry in the area of housing and managing gestating sows.

The Pork CRC also has a number of projects on alternative farrowing accommodation, because it is almost certain that confinement free production will eventually encompass the farrowing component of production and we need to get ahead of the curve.

In Program 3 we’ve completed the first phase of a comprehensive evaluation of eating quality pathways for Australian pork.

The work by the University of Melbourne has established the effects of numerous factors, including sex, aging, cooking, and cut (meal) on the ranking of pork by consumer panels.

The outcomes demonstrate that pork has a relatively high fail rate (not desired by consumers) and that this is affected by sex (higher for intact males), the cut (higher for the loin than other cuts) and cooking temperature.

Interestingly, however, was the fact that cuts from all sexes and across all categories were ranked as premium or even platinum quality (very desirable).

The information is the first available to the industry on how pork is perceived and on the factors that affect this perception.

It is now a matter of tracking the pathways that lead to pork ending up in the different eating quality categories and establishing how the proportion ranked in the higher quality categories can be increased and/or the pork labelled and sold accordingly.

It’s exciting research and the first step in ensuring consistency in the quality of Australian pork.

All programs are now up and operating and 2013 will be a year of new discoveries CONTINUED ON PAGE 30 w

APL YEAR IN REVIEW CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4

The second and third tranches of the same amount are due to be implemented in two-year intervals thereafter on the same date in 2014 and 2016. KPIs derived from expectations of the increased expenditure made possible by the levy increase have been adjusted in line with the new levy increase arrangements.

Secondly, the past few years of initiatives under core objective three – ‘Efficient Value Chains’ – has shown that our engagement with the supply chain is more difficult than just with the production base, due to their different drivers and motivators. This has compromised some of the outcomes of the planned programs and projects, to the point where we have put activities under this core objective on hold.

This in no way represents any diminishing of the perceived importance of Core Objective 3, or any change to our longer-term aspirations to work hand in glove with this part of the industry. There remain projects involving the supply chain, but in our forward plans these have been captured in core objectives other than three.

Our five-year strategic planning cycle dictates that we will need a new “Strategic Plan 2015–20” by mid 2014. The development of such a plan is normally allocated a full year of consultations with producers and deliberations with the Board. The process to develop this plan will therefore be kicking off at the start of financial year 2013–14.

Levy increase after 18 years At APL, we have been proud of our ability over the years to continue to provide a high level of services into the industry through productivity improvements whilst our real income was decreasing. We recognised a few years ago that eventually our services would have to be compromised if resource limitations were not addressed. With the support of the Board, we embarked on an initiative to work with industry to increase the levy payable under the ‘Marketing’ category for the first time since 1994.

Our consultation around the proposal to increase the marketing levy was highlighted through our producer meetings around the country. This was a great opportunity to discuss with those producers present the marketing initiatives that we undertake on their behalf and the results we measure for the industry overall.

It is never easy to ask producers to pay more through their compulsory levies, but in the end, we were very appreciative of the support we received through the process. This included the eventual levy vote, where around 73% of the industry (on a production volume basis) supported the reasoning to increase the levy in three separate tranches as described above. The vote result was, of course, not unanimous, and we see this as a challenge to not only continue to create value for the industry, but also to demonstrate better that value.

v APL YEAR IN REVIEW CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19 iestment and a difficult transition in production arrangements.

It is arguable that the most powerful driver of the shift away from sow stalls is, however, the market itself where the two major retailers are demanding sow stall free pork for the future – whether it comes from overseas for processed product or from domestic producers.

The challenge we have faced over the past year is going to remain for future years – that is to maximise the value of this initiative to the industry through the differentiation power it gives us for the brand ‘Australian Pork’.

We have already seen some benefits coming back to the industry as a result of our stand on sow stalls, such as retailer commitments to standards for all pork supplies, increased pressure on smallgoods processors to support the Australian industry, improved government relations as a result of their seeing us in a leadership role on welfare and credit coming from welfare agencies such as the RSPCA. There is a lot more to be done before our job is complete around ‘Shaping Our Future’. What gives us leverage in gaining benefits from this commitment is the continued industry progress in meeting it.

As of November (2012), an industry survey showed that 55% of Australia’s sow herd is operating under ‘sow stall free’ conditions, which is an impressive result after just twenty four months.

We expect this type of progress to continue, which will certainly help us to demonstrate that the industry is walking the talk around looking after our animals.

Carbon and the environment Our industry has also demonstrated its credentials over the past year in emissions and environmental management. We were successful in working with the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency in having the first methodology for a reduction in emissions approved under the Carbon Farming Initiative.

We also led a consortium of livestock industries in applying for funding under the Carbon Farming Futures ‘Filling the Research Gap’ program, worth around $3 million over the next few years.

I was privileged to be part of the launch,

by Parliamentary Secretary for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency , the Hon Mark Dreyfus QC MP, of Australia’s first carbon farming piggery, Blantyre Farms at Young NSW. Blantyre Farms was the first farm in Australia to be given the green light to earn

carbon credits from destroying methane generated by pig manure. I am aware there are a number of other piggeries also close to finalising work on this type of environmental initiative.

We believe the pork industry has a lot to offer in terms of reducing emissions and good environmental practice and this also needs to be a recognised part of our brand ‘Australian Pork’.

Government R&D Policy Statement The federal government has released its “Rural Research and Development Policy Statement” in response to the Productivity Commission inquiry into Rural Research and Development Corporations and the Rural Research and Development Council Investment Plan.

We expect that the implementation of the policies within the statement will have some future implications for how APL, and the other rural R&D corporations, will work.

We look forward to working with government as one of our most important investors and stakeholders in making the necessary changes to the way we operate, whilst retaining our core roles of delivery for industry in an efficient and effective manner.

The fresh pork threat from afar As legal decisions currently stand in New Zealand, pig producers there could have fresh pork competition from imports within a matter of months. The decision to allow fresh pork imports seems to us unfathomable, considering the potential for the outbreak of exotic disease – in particular, Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) – which today exists in neither Australia nor New Zealand.

The big pork exporting nations of the world – mainly Europe and North America – will see this as a win for their exporting objectives and we will be the next opportunity in their sights.

The impact of a disease outbreak such as PRRS in Australia would be an absolute disaster for our industry, and we intend to defend the scientific basis for the present import protocols with all resources available to us.

It is clear that the pork exporting nations of the world have no interest in our clean herd health status (in fact, for them, it is a competitive disadvantage) and they will be trying to get their product into our market for sale as fresh meat.

APL Operations The year 2012 saw other achievements

2013 PIG INDUSTRY YEARBOOK

on behalf of the industry, including the drafting of the APIQ Free Range standards, continued uptake of the APIQ system generally on farm and the continuation of our iconic ‘Get some pork on your fork’ TV and radio advertisements.

We also moved offices in Canberra earlier in the year to manage costs and improve efficiency and staff amenities.

More than 30 staff turn up at those APL offices each morning to do their work for our industry. Many of them will never be known to our producers.

They do a great job, sometimes in very difficult circumstances, and without broader acknowledgement, in making our industry better, year by year. I would like to recognise and thank them for their efforts.

There have been some changes to the APL Board with the appointment of Mr Geoff Starr as a Specialist Director for an initial three year term.

Mr Starr has an impressive background in marketing and the food industry. His appointment followed the retirement of Professor Robert van Barneveld after eight years on the APL Board.

Looking to the next twelve months we plan to keep challenging ourselves to find what it takes to keep the industry moving in a positive direction in the years to come.

v PORK CRC - DIFFERENT BY CHOICE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19 and new information in a new R&D process for the Australian pork industry. It’s something I am certainly looking forward to.

We held our first Stakeholders’ Meeting in conjunction with the Pork CRC AGM in Melbourne in November 2012.

The meeting, attended by representatives from almost all participant organisations, was informed of the latest outcomes from the four R&D programs and where each is headed.

We received excellent feedback on participant expectations and potential R&D priorities and how participants can contribute to the R&D and commercialisation outcomes of the Pork CRC. The event was very professionally facilitated by Professor Rob van Barneveld and will become part of our annual calendar.

I wish all participants and everyone involved in Australia’s pork industry, especially producers, a happy, healthy, safe and prosperous 2013.

Managing feed costs and maximising feed efficiency will be the secrets to success in 2013, while further differentiating Australian pork will help ensure better prices in 2013 and the sustainability of the industry.

I look forward to working with everyone on both areas.
