A review committee recommends raising Australia’s grassfed cattle transaction levy from A$5 to A$6 per head by July 1, 2028, conditional on reforms being implemented by July 1, 2027. Levy payers are due to vote on the proposal at the Meat and Livestock Australia AGM on November 24, and the article also notes a China beef quota reset scheduled for January 1.
If approved, the levy would add costs to grassfed cattle sales and provide about A$13 million in additional annual funding, though the proposed increase is gradual and its price effect is likely limited. The quota reset could affect Australian beef export access to China, but the article gives no details on the quota change.
