Red Meat Industry Strategy 2030
The Red Meat Industry Strategy 2030 is a national plan to grow South Africa’s red meat sector by improving animal health, expanding market access, supporting smallholder farmers and strengthening the entire value chain.
Achieving this growth requires vision, collaboration and coordinated execution, principles that RMIS champions every day.
The red meat industry is complex and challenging.
You should not be facing this alone.
The South African red meat industry is under growing pressure from animal health and biosecurity threats, changing regulations, market access barriers and fragmented data.
Producers, feedlots, abattoirs and industry bodies are often forced to operate in silos, making it difficult to plan ahead, respond quickly to disease outbreaks or compete effectively.
Without shared systems, trusted data and coordination, the industry becomes reactive instead of strategic, increasing risk, cost and uncertainty.
A Service-driven Partner for the Entire Value Chain
RMIS delivers practical solutions and measurable impact across South Africa’s red meat industry. We understand the daily realities of farming, processing, trading and regulation, where animal health, compliance, markets and margins must be balanced with limited time and resources.
Our role is to turn long term strategy into practical action. By bringing farmers, feedlots, abattoirs, veterinarians, researchers, value chain partners and policymakers together around shared platforms, trusted data and coordinated services, RMIS helps the entire industry move forward with clarity and confidence.
We do not just support the industry, we unite it. Our mandate is to enable real results and sustainable progress for all stakeholders across the red meat value chain.
