Welcome to the 6th edition of the Handbook of Australian Meat.

The aim of this Handbook is to facilitate the marketing of meat within Australia and to our overseas customers.  It is primarily designed to enable Australian exporters and importers in overseas countries to communicate using standard cut/item names and the four digit code number that has been assigned to each cut or item.

I feel confident that this 6th edition will facilitate global trade and enhance Australia's international reputation.
