The North America office, located in Washington, DC, promotes the availability

to raise awareness of Australian red meat, and encourages consumers to
incorporate it into a healthy diet.
Our Foodservice and Retail development managers work with importers and
businesses to provide current industry information; develop the supply
chain; and arrange both general and customized advertising and promotional campaigns,
materials and POS items.
Our Beef, Lamb and Goatmeat Consumer websites offer information about the
quality of Australian red meat for those who enjoy meat, as well as nutritional
information, a store locator, recipes, cooking tips, videos and more – and our
social networking offers additional information and conversation with consumers
of Australian lamb.
About Meat
& Livestock Australia
Meat &
Livestock Australia undertakes a range of information, research and development,
and marketing programs designed specifically to support Australia’s Red Meat
Industry.
MLA’s information, research and development programs work behind the scenes to
contribute to the establishment of standards and practices that ensure the
highest level of food safety, healthfulness and quality. The company also
manages strategic planning for the Australian cattle, sheep and goat
industries.
Offices have been established in major regions of the world to assist in
maintaining an adequate supply chain as well as promote the consumption of
Australia’s high-quality red meat through local information and marketing
programs.
The Australia livestock industries are committed to producing safe,
high-quality meat for customers everywhere. Australia’s abundance of natural
grazing land and strict government regulations allow livestock to be pasture
raised, without the use of additives such as antibiotics or hormones. Its
physical isolation as a separate continent contributes to Australia’s internationally
recognized status of being free of all major livestock diseases. MLA has helped
to pioneer state-of-the-art electronic tracking systems that allow Australian
red meat to be traced back to its ranch of origin.
When customers purchase meat from Australia, they are receiving products from
one of the safest and most stringently controlled meat industries in the world.
MLA is funded by cattle, sheep and goat rancher levies, joint funding from the
processing and live export sectors and, in the research and development area,
through Australian government dollar-for-dollar matching funds.
