中国红肉行业领军代表团完成澳大利亚畜牧及加工行业里程碑式考察，进一步巩固双方行业纽带，推动中澳肉牛及红肉产业合作向前发展。

本次8月访问是中澳重要行业交流项目的组成部分，该项目由澳中关系国家基金会出资，澳大利亚肉类及畜牧业协会（MLA）牵头实施，并联合澳大利亚肉类工业委员会（AMIC）以及其他红肉行业顶级机构共同开展。

为期一周的活动在西澳大利亚州举办，中方行业代表与澳大利亚红肉全供应链的养殖企业、加工商、科研人员及行业相关方开展对接，实地了解澳大利亚生产体系、食品安全标准、牲畜溯源体系、动物福利框架以及加工实力。

本次考察是今年早些时候公布的中澳肉牛与红肉产业合作项目的重要里程碑。

该项目旨在深化中澳行业各方的对接，加强技术对话，推动长期产业间合作。

澳大利亚肉类及畜牧业协会国际市场总经理安德鲁·考克斯表示，本次访问印证了汇聚行业领军人物，增进相互理解、搭建更稳固的商业与技术合作关系的重要意义。

“良好的关系是中澳红肉贸易行稳致远的关键，本次访问为两国行业领军主体创造了宝贵的后续合作机遇。”考克斯先生说道。

“一周行程期间，代表团实地见识澳大利亚红肉供应链的实力与完整度，涵盖牲畜养殖、育肥场管理、加工、科研直至出口全环节。

考察期间的各类交流，体现双方在创新、食品安全、可持续发展、持续优化以及互利协作方面的共同追求。这类交流有助于建立互信，为两国产业乃至两国消费者创造长期价值。

通过本次项目搭建的人脉纽带，将助力后续持续协作，夯实这一重要合作关系的基础。”

西澳大利亚州考察是该项目两大重点交流活动的首场。

后续澳大利亚行业代表将赴中国开展出访交流，并举办首届中澳畜牧与红肉产业合作论坛，搭建常态化对话平台，围绕双方共同关切开展未来合作。

本项目由澳中关系国家基金会提供支持，该机构为澳大利亚政府设立，旨在促进与统筹中澳深化合作，维护澳大利亚国家利益。

A delegation of Chinese red meat industry leaders has completed a landmark tour of Australia's livestock and processing sector, strengthening industry ties and advancing cooperation between Australia's and China's cattle and red meat industries.

The August visit formed part of a major Australia-China industry engagement initiative funded by the National Foundation for Australia-China Relations and delivered by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) in partnership with the Australian Meat Industry Council (AMIC) and other red meat peak industry bodies.

The week-long Western Australia-based program connected Chinese industry representatives with Australian producers, processors, researchers and industry stakeholders across the red meat supply chain, providing first-hand insights into Australia's production systems, food safety standards, livestock traceability, animal welfare frameworks and processing capabilities.

The tour marks a significant milestone in the Australia-China cattle and red meat industry cooperation project announced earlier this year.

The initiative is designed to deepen engagement between Australian and Chinese industry stakeholders, strengthen technical dialogue and support long-term industry-to-industry collaboration.

MLA’s General Manager for International Markets, Andrew Cox said the visit demonstrated the value of bringing industry leaders together to foster mutual understanding and build stronger commercial and technical relationships.

“Strong relationships are critical to the long-term success of the Australia-China red meat trade, and this visit has created valuable opportunities for future cooperation between industry leaders in both countries,” Mr Cox said.

“Throughout the week, delegates were able to see first-hand the strength and integrity of Australia's red meat supply chain, from livestock production and feedlot management through to processing, research and export.

“The discussions held during the tour highlighted a shared commitment to innovation, food safety, sustainability and continuous improvement and mutual collaboration. These are the conversations that help build trust and create long-term value for both industries and ultimately both country’s consumers.”

“The connections established through this program will support ongoing collaboration and help strengthen the foundations of an important relationship.”

The Western Australia tour is the first of two major exchanges being delivered through the initiative.

It will be followed by an outbound visit by Australian industry representatives to China and culminate in the inaugural Australia-China Livestock and Red Meat Industry Cooperation Forum, creating a platform for ongoing dialogue and future collaboration on issues of mutual interest.

The project is supported by the National Foundation for Australia-China Relations, an Australian Government initiative that promotes and coordinates enhanced cooperation between Australia and China in support of Australia's national interests.
