Beef industry

Queensland is Australia´s main producer and exporter of beef. Each year, Queensland exports $3.3 billion in high-quality beef products.

World-class research, development and production practices have kept Queensland's beef free from many of the world´s most serious bovine diseases, including foot-and-mouth disease and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), making our beef products among the world's safest.
