UK forum to look at global beef and lamb trends
The free Global Forum will be held in York, England, on 19 June. Topics will include key global market trends, the future of the European agricultural policy and the latest developments in the UK red meat sectors. There will also be presentations on global meat production, Russia’s and China’s beef and sheep markets and a look at what is next for the sectors in Australia and New Zealand.
Claus Deblitz, co-ordinator of the agri benchmark Beef and Sheep network, which is also organising the event, said: “Global Forum 2013 provides the platform for agri benchmark to present an overview of what’s happening in the global beef and sheep sectors. It also covers UK-specific topics, giving delegates a complete picture of the key trends and developments in the industry.”
Meanwhile, Mark Topliff, head of inputs and production economics at Eblex, added: “The forum showcases to industry stakeholders the breadth of data and expertise available to them to have up-to-date sector information and an exchange of ideas and research projects which can help with business or trading decisions.
“It is invaluable in giving perspectives on a range of subjects, including global costs of production, standards of different production systems and global market trends. We hope the forum will also provide UK delegates with a comprehensive understanding of the key markets that affect them, either directly or indirectly.”
