Australian Beef Exports Hit New Highs in 2025
Australian Beef Exports Break New Ground in 2025
Australia’s beef export sector delivered a standout performance in 2025, achieving record or near-record outcomes across multiple international markets. This happened as global demand strengthened and supply constraints eased.
According to new analysis from Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA), Australian beef exports benefited from expanded market access and improved production conditions. There was also strong demand from key destinations, particularly in Asia, the Middle East and North America.
MLA said 2025 marked a year of diversification and resilience, with growth recorded across both traditional high-volume markets and emerging destinations. Furthermore, the performance reflects Australia’s ability to supply a wide range of beef products. These range from premium grain-fed cuts to manufacturing beef. This supported carcase balance and export value.
The results come amid tightening beef supply in several competing exporting regions, reinforcing Australia’s role as a reliable global supplier. MLA noted that export momentum is expected to continue into 2026. This will be supported by herd rebuilding, trade stability and sustained international demand.
