Forage Insurance Survey

National Beef Strategy Update

The National Beef Strategy www.beefstrategy.com is designed to position the Canadian beef industry for greater profitability, growth and continued production of high quality beef.  
The aim of developing the strategy, and the outcome of that development, was to get the whole industry committed to improve the industry across the country: better connections with consumers and among producers, increased competitiveness relative to our competitors, improved productivity and increased beef demand are ways to improve the resilience and profitability of beef cattle producers of all kinds across Canada. 

 The pillars and goals of the National Beef Strategy by 2020 are:
  • Beef Demand – Increase carcass cutout value by 15%
  • Competitiveness – Reduce cost disadvantages compared to main competitors by 7%
  • Productivity – Increase production efficiency by 15%
  • Connectivity – Enhance synergies within industry and connect positively with consumers, the public, government and partner industries
