With the decline of farm land to pine trees and the reduction of beef cow. Where does this put the future for raising beef for export or domestic market. Most likely industry to fulfil this short fall is the dairy farmer and calf rearer.
But with inflation and the lack of beef farmers paying attention to the cost themselves it ends up the calf rearer taking the hit on there bottom line. Over the last two years with a lot of medium size calf rearers exiting the industry and 2021 and 2022 with large amounts of beef weaners exported to 🇨🇳 China. The lost to the country in revenues payable to farmers and export works would result in the money not flowing into the economy. Question is there a freezing works company going to exit the industry.
How would this effect the returns to country and the people who benefit from the freezing works.
We need to Question many government agencies and there short slighted view of farming.
1980s under the labour government showed how quickly it turn upside down when banks and the government forgot farmers. Millions of people losses large amounts of money to paper shares. Is history repeating it self.
