flag Australian sheep processor margins rose slightly in Sept. 2025, but profits remain pressured by rising costs and weak exports.

flag Australian sheep processor margins edged up slightly in September 2025, with the SPTC index rising to 0.9% from 0.4% in August, driven by a 7% jump in co-product values due to strong demand for offal and tallow. flag However, rising livestock costs—mutton up 2.5%, lamb up 1.1%—and uneven export performance, including declines in China and the U.S., kept overall profitability under pressure. flag Retail lamb prices rose 5.8% in Q3, but inflation concerns limited benefits to processors. flag The annual average SPTC remains at 23%, signaling stabilization without recovery.
