The primary export markets for beef include the United States, China, and Japan.Future challenges With Australia looking set to establish itself as an even bigger contributor to the global market, adoption of new technologies will be important to ensure production can keep up with demand. Challenges revolve around having a large enough semi-skilled workforce, accurately forecasting yield and harvest timings, and reliance on seasonal workers.
