Additionally, the new process of including our industry hatchery helped the company to plan deliveries, which proved effective.It is always heartening to see the number of members reaching out to those affected, offering support through calls and emails. This strong sense of community remains a defining strength of our industry.A key aspect of this response has been increased engagement with government officials from both sides of politics. Their willingness to understand the challenges we face is encouraging, especially as the implementation of the poultry standards and guidelines remains a critical decision for agriculture ministers in various states. Ensuring that all production systems can meet consumer demand will be vital moving forward.Through each challenge, our industry continues to learn, evolve and strengthen its resilience. Wisdom, transformation and calmness remain essential as we navigate these complexities together.Thanks everyone for your support as we work to support you. www.poultrynews.com.auVol 8.
