JBS Australia shifts towards grainfed cattle production for export markets and addresses labor challenges.

JBS Australia, the biggest beef processor in the country, is advocating for a shift towards grainfed cattle due to increasing demand in export markets and labour challenges. The company is investing in increasing its capacity and converting facilities to grainfed production to cater to the growing demand. Two key drivers identified are the potential coming out of a low herd size in the US and the labour challenge in the processing business. JBS has increased its capacity to process grainfed cattle, with its Dinmore plant in South-East Queensland now being a grainfed-dominant facility, and expects demand for grainfed beef in Japan and South Korea to continue growing.
