Meat processing industry struggling due to uncertainty in markets: The head of Australia's last beef processing co-operative says the meat processing industry is in its most unstable phase he's ever seen. The Northern Co-operative Meat Company based in Casino in New South Wales is facing tough times, not just due to expensive cattle, but uncertainty in its major markets. Chief executive Simon Stahl says issues in South Korea, competition from the United States, and uncertainty over the Trans-Pacific Partnership are all taking their toll.
