Fresh Meats
We operate large-scale farms in Australia and Middle East and sell beef products produced in Australia locally as well as export products to Japan, across Asia, and worldwide.
Australia
Whyalla Beef Pty. Ltd., established in Australia in 1987, is engaged in the breeding, backgrounding and lot feeding of beef cattle on the largest feedlot in the country, producing approximately 120,000 head of cattle annually. Whyalla Beef strictly manages cattle health conditions and provides complete traceability from breeding to processing.
For example, Whyalla Beef is taking steps to provide low-stress rearing at its feedlot by installing sunshades to protect the cows from the sun and providing full safe and sanitary water and feed.
Whyalla Beef produces the Omugi-Gyu (Barley Beef) grainfed brand, which it exports to Japan and worldwide.
Turkey
Our Turkey subsidiary Ege-Tav is highly regarded in the region for the long and successful history of producing chicks for poultry meat. We have created a synergistic relationship in the poultry farming business that enables us to maintain a steady supply while meeting the growing demand for chicken meat.
