Sheep Industry Business Innovation project

Please note: This content may be out of date and is currently under review.

The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) led a project that supported the sheep industry to capitalise on growing markets for sheep products. The overall goal for the Western Australian (WA) sheep industry is to be sustainable, internationally competitive and grow in value in to the future.

Background

The Sheep Industry Business Innovation (SIBI) project was made possible by the state government’s Royalties for Regions program. The project started in October 2015 and finished in June 2018.

The Sheep Industry Business Innovation project assisted the industry in building capacity to supply new markets for sheepmeat and live exports, particularly in nearby Asia and the Middle East – generating flow-on benefits to producers,  industry, the regions, communities and the state economy.

This involved the investigating dedicated supply chains aligned to customer needs in new markets (predominantly international) as well as increasing business and technical skills of producers and processors in order to maximise their business’ efficiency, productivity and profitability to supply these new value chains.  For more information regarding the SIBI legacy's, please view the SIBI Legacy page
