Working to the benefit of farmers

The Red Meat Producers' Organisation works on behalf of red meat producers to ultimately improve their sustainability.

- 

The Red Meat Producers’ Organisation (RPO) is a member organisation for primary cattle, sheep and goat producers. The organisation's primary objective is to represent its members during high-level discussions that could influence the business and sustainability of the primary producer. Through its affiliation with other organisations such as the National Stock Theft Prevention Forum, the Predation Management Forum, and the National Genetic Export Advisory Committee, the RPO fulfils a wide range of functions in the industry to the benefit of the red meat producer. As a registered affected group at the National Agricultural Marketing Council, the RPO is included in all official government forums that concern red meat producers. The RPO also has a seat at the general agricultural organisations such as Agri SA and TLU SA, as well as other organisations in the red meat and natural fibre value chains.

SHARING INFORMATION

As the foremost organisation that represents its members in the red meat value chain, the RPO places great emphasis on sharing relevant information with its members.

As such, information on a wide range of topics is shared by the RPO, including weekly market reports, information on stock theft, and information on predator and natural resource management.
