Message from the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry
- Julie Collins

Australia’s beef industry is one of our nation’s great success stories and Casino Beef Week is an exciting celebration of everything that makes this industry so iconic.

Australian beef is recognised and trusted around the globe and remains our most valuable agricultural export.

It supports regional communities, creates jobs, provides food security both domestically and globally, and helps drive our economy.

Behind this success are the hardworking producers, processors and businesses across the supply chain who continue to deliver premium products to domestic and international markets. The past year has brought significant challenges, we’ve faced drought, floods, bushfires and global economic uncertainty.

Despite these pressures, the beef industry has remained resilient and continues to play a vital role in the Northern Rivers region as a major employer and economic contributor.

Events like Casino Beef Week help keep regional industries strong by bringing people together to share ideas, showcase innovation, support local businesses and celebrate the achievements of the sector.

The Albanese Labor Government is proud to back the beef industry to ensure a strong, sustainable and profitable future for our producers and regional communities.

I congratulate everyone involved in this year’s Casino Beef Week and hope you enjoy all the event has to offer.
