Task 3

Marketing Strategy Report

Assessment description
You are basing your marketing strategy report on the research you conducted in Task 2.
Imagine you work for another team in the Australian Governments Rural Industries Research and
Development Corporation (RIDRDC). It conducts research on behalf of Australian farmers.
The report in Appendix 1 is old. It was tabled in January 2006. The RIRDC wants to update their research
and consider the opportunities for exporting meat.
Your job is to analyse the export opportunity for your chosen meat product to your chosen market.
Use your research either to argue for or to argue against a particular chosen strategy.
Companies are looking to make money and not lose money. So ideally you will identify a good market
opportunity. But if your research demonstrates that the original strategic idea you had, was a bad one,
your research is still valuable because it will close a door on the likelihood of the company losing money by
choosing a bad strategy.
The important thing is your research and what it tells the Australian Government.

Procedure and steps


The Task requires you to read the websites you identified in Task 2. If in the meantime you find other
useful websites, you can include them. If you have other information sources (eg a survey) include them
too of course. A diversity of information sources makes you a better researcher.
You now need to sort and bring together your information and recommendation in a report that mirrors
industry report structures.
Follow these steps in writing your report:
-

Start with an Executive Summary which clearly defines your research objectives

Describe your target market (in this case, the population of your chosen country)

List and describe the market segments in your market

Identify trends

Apply statistical tools and methods of data analysis ie. use Excel or other software to create
graphs, making your information visual and therefore easier to picture

Include any legal advantages or disadvantages and any other relevant information such as culture,
health, transport, chain supply, etc

Conclude by making recommendations giving reasons for your recommendation

Record your sources of information.

Task 1

Marketing Strategy Analysis

Use this template to write your answers:


a. In 2004 there were 7 main existing markets for Australian meat exports mentioned in this report.
Which countries were they?
1. Japan
2. south korea
3. Singapore
4. Hong Kong

6. France
7. Russia
b. They did not choose any of these markets for their research. Which country did they choose as

their target market?


Thailand

c. Which two market segments did they identify within the target market?
1. High End Food Service
1. Culture/Religion/Ethnic specific

were they?
1. Kangaroo
2. Buffalo
3. Ostrich
4. Emu
5. Crocodile
6. Rabbit
7. Camel
e. Which of the seven products did they choose to introduce to the target market?

Rabbit

f.

What market advantage did they report on this chosen meat?


ILSC Business College

BSBMKG415 & BSBRES401 Assessment V1:0615

Page 9 of 34

There was significant interest in this product and further research on shelf life and safety
of the product under vacuum or MA packaging should be investigated and further investigations be
conducted into possible improvements along the cold chain.
g. Name one other advantage the product had:
This product has no import tariff into Thailand, with the current threat of an avian
influenza outbreak, foodservice suppliers are looking for alternatives to chicken and this product was
viewed as a good replacement for chicken.
h. Name one concern the market had with importing Australian meat:
The improved hygiene of processing, the temperature of storage and transport prior to
retail must be controlled in order to inhibit the growth of spoilage and pathogenic organisms. As
ambient temperature rises so may the product temperature and as Thailand is very hot this is a critical
point in the supply chain that must be controlled. Figure two indicates the sectors along the supply
chain that consistently had product above 4C, and as can be seen temperature of the product started
to gradually rise a few hours before departure from freight forwarder to airport and remained
consistently above10C to arrival in Thailand. Factors that could improve the maintenance of cool chain
for this product include improved thermal packaging, possibly using dry ice as coolant and increasing
the shipment size in order to ship rabbits in AVE air freight containers, which have been successfully
used for other fresh meat products

i.

Which promotional method did they choose?


They organised a luncheon.

j. Where exactly did they choose to promote the chosen product?


The British Club in Bangkok

k. When was the promotion?

q. The 25% of population were pretty satisfied about the promotion launched .
r. Were the researchers aware of this? How do you know?
The researches were definitely aware of this, throught market's researches and case
studies .
s. Were the researchers confident in all their information sources?
At the begin they were a bit scheptical about the sources , but they're opinions changed
immediately after awnoledged all the details trought the promotional event, and feedbacks.

t. If they were exporting the usual Australian exports of lamb, beef and goat, what licence would
they need to obtain from the Australian authorities?
Australian Meat and Live-Stock Industry (Export Licensing) Regulations 1998 (Australian Government)

u. In exporting kangaroo to other international markets, do they feel that there are any major trade
barriers such as competitors, culture or tariffs?
In this case , we do not have any sort of competitors, because the kangaroo is an Australian native
animal. So we dont suffer any sort of competition whatsoever

PLEASE PASTE YOUR ASSESSMENT TASK 3 (Marketing Strategy

Report) BELOW THIS LINE

Executive summary
Once analyzing the report by RIRDC about seven meat Australian products (emu, ostrich,
camel, crocodile, buffalo, kangaroo and rabbit meat) and analyzing different markets, our target
market is EU (Principal country is Spain)
The objective will be kangaroo burger where we find a strong market and each year is bigger.
The hamburgers are really popular between workers, students, childrens on EU.
On EU market you can find different meat hamburgers (Beef, pork, chicken, lamb) but Our
product will be successful because our target market will be keen to try a food item that they have not
had before.
The results of this project shows a high possibility to success in trading the Kangaroo meat in
Spain.

1. Introduction

The EU meat sector is expected to be supported by strong demand on the world market driven
by favourable economic conditions. In Europe, prospects of improved economic growth should leave
consumers with more disposable income allowing for a higher consumption of meat products.
In 2012, unfavourable weather in several parts of the world (drought in the US, Black Sea
region and Eastern Europe) drove up grain, and consequently feed prices, which affected meat
production and put pressure on margins despite meat prices reaching historical highs worldwide in
2012 and 2013.
In the current outlook, feed prices are expected to remain relatively high throughout the
projection period, though significantly below 2012 levels. Projected meat prices are also to remain
firm due to strong world demand and limited supply response.
Lower availabilities, higher meat prices and the ongoing economic downturn with high
unemployment rates especially in the southern European countries meant that overall meat
consumption contracted in 2012 and 2013 (-1.5 per cent from 2011), reaching its lowest level for the
past 11 years (64.7kg per capita)5 in 2013, as consumers turned to cheaper meats and cuts.

ILSC Business College

BSBMKG415 & BSBRES401 Assessment V1:0615

Page 13 of 34

Consumption per capita is measured in retail weight. Coefficients to convert the carcass weight
into retail weight are 0.7 for beef and veal, 0.78 for pig meat and 0.88 for poultry and sheep meat.
Consumption is expected to recover from 2014 as more meat comes in onto the market. By the
end of the projection period, per-capita consumption is expected to reach 66.1 kg, similar to the 2011
level (Figure 1). The recovery is moderate because more people are changing their food habits
towards more fish and/or less meat in their diets.
Individuals typically consume around 10kg more meat in the EU-15 than in the EU-N13 but
this gap is expected to narrow slightly in the next few years, due mainly to faster growing poultry
meat consumption in the new Member States. Current EU-15 and EU-N13 per capita consumption
levels of pork, poultry and sheep meat are quite similar, but individuals in the EU-15 tend to eat far
more beef: about 12kg as against 4kg in the EU-N13.
Over the projection period, poultry meat is expected to remain the most dynamic product
(thanks to its price, convenience and health considerations) and partially compensate for falling beef
and sheep meat consumption. Poultry consumption is expected to increase both as a proportion of
total meat consumption and in absolute terms (Figure 2). Pork will remain Europe's favorite meat,
while the consumption of beef and sheep meat is projected to drop in both in absolute and relative
terms.
The consumption of meat in Spain is higher than the EU average. In 2008, meat consumption
was 65.3 kg per capita, with fresh meat accounting for 48.9 kg, of which only 5.6 kg was quality
certified. Meat consumption is higher in the north of Spain than in the south. Consumption of poultry
(16.1 kg per capita) and pork (14.1 kg per capita) is predominantly as fresh meat. In 2008, the
consumption of lamb/kid meat (sheep and goat are combined in the statistics) was only 3.4 kg per
capita. Lamb/kid meat is considered expensive (6.8 on a scale from 0 to 10), and is eaten with family
and on special occasions.
The kangaroo meat is produced in the best Australian plant and imported fresh, so the market
offers a product of high quality, in full compliance with the strictest health standards and a tasty and
enjoyable gastronomic novelty to everyone.

Conclusion

3. Methodology

The best way to search data about international trades meat and the global demand of meat in
the next years is the worldwide.
I conducted my research, starting from the first comprehensive research on global demand for
meat and its consumption in the various countries of the world.
Then I entered the European market in particular, after analyzing the existence of import from
Spain of kangaroo meat. Once I have collected all of these general data, I continued my research online
on the nutritional characteristics of kangaroo meat looking for strengths and weaknesses that can
help me to better marketing in Spain market.
Another important point on which I based the research is the analysis of the potential market
segments in which to sell kangaroo meat, both private consumers and restaurant service (hospitality
industry).
In regard of all of above I have investigate any legal and cultural issues, finding data in official
website of Government apparatus.

4. Opportunity
This images informs consumers about meat production, trends in different countries based on
data from world organisations such as the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD), Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), World Health Organisation
(WHO), and Gallup data, just to name a few.
The following charts give a sense of how people consume meat around the world.
This chart shows meat production around the world. Though the USA and Europe still produce
plenty of meat products, the prices of feed, energy, and land are all becoming more expensive and the
cost of producing industrial livestock is rising. Pigs and poultry are still doing well in the market since
both species dont necessarily need a lot of feed and can be kept in confined spaces.

Meat companies are growing thanks to mergers and acquisitions, and are expanding across
countries and animal species. Today, there are 10 major meat producers around the globe, four of
which are based in the U.S.: Cargill ($33 billion in food sales a year), Tyson ($33 billion in food sales a
year), Smithfield ($13 billion in food sales a year), and Hormel Foods ($8 billion in food sales a year).

The global demand for meat is growing, particularly in China and India, which could see an 80%
boom in the meat sector by 2022 due to a new (and growing) middle class. Africans are also starting
ILSC Business College

BSBMKG415 & BSBRES401 Assessment V1:0615

Page 16 of 34

to eat more meat, though the supply and demand are still not quite what they are in other parts of the
world.

Meat production and consumption in the industrialized world have radically increased since
1950. Overall, however, meat consumption has stagnated. In the U.S. there has been a 9% drop in
consumption from 2007 to 2012 thanks to trendy low-meat diets and growing concern from
customers over where meat comes from. It could also be due to recent meat scandals, including horse
meat marketed as beef.

Poultry is the fastest growing segment of globalized livestock. By 2020, Chinas poultry
production will increase 37%, Brazils will increase 28%, and U.S. production will increase 16% due to
growing consumption around the globe. In India, poultry consumption is expected to rise nearly tenfold
to just below 10 million tons a year in 2050.

ILSC Business College

BSBMKG415 & BSBRES401 Assessment V1:0615

Page 17 of 34

One reason poultry is so popular is the price. Producing poultry is cheaper than other types of
meat because chickens are more efficient to feed than other livestock ,and there are few religious or
cultural limitations to eating chicken. In 2011, an estimated 58 TRILLION chickens were slaughtered
around the world thats compared to roughly 1.4 trillion pigs and 300 million cattle.

ILSC Business College

BSBMKG415 & BSBRES401 Assessment V1:0615

Page 18 of 34

Only a small percentage of the population in the U.S. and Europe describe themselves as
vegetarians or vegans. Its much more popular in India since Buddhism and Hinduism share beliefs
about rebirth and the importance nonviolence that leads people to reject the consumption of meat due
to the slaughter of animals.

And even though its not as popular as meat consumption, people are becoming more
interested in vegetarianism and veganism as lifestyle choices.

There could also be a shift in the future from animal protein to protein from aquatic plants or
insects, as a recent United Nations report suggests. Insects are particularly efficient and high in
protein.

5. Segmentation
The fast food market is the obvious first market for kangaroo burguer. The industry should
work with different big brands (Mcdonals, hungry jack's) for to incorporate the kangaroo burguer in
them restaurants.
Research is needed to gain a better understanding of consumers with a preference for well
cooked red meat. This segment is large and at present it is assumed that kangaroo is simply
unpalatable, but is not true.
People that has a busy life and look for healthy, Nutritional food. The basic components of a
healthy diet are well documented, the most frequently used framework for a healthy diet being the
eat well plate so the Kangaroo meat can be advertising like an healthy choice.
Target market identified:
- Young people.

Page 21 of 34

The EU meat sector is expected to be supported by strong demand on the world market, driven
by improved economic conditions. In Europe, prospects of recovery in economic growth should leave
consumers with more disposable income, allowing for a higher consumption of meat products. EU per
capita meat consumption, which reached its lowest level for the past 11 years (64.7 kg retail weight)
in 2013, is expected to recover from 2014 as more meat comes onto the market. In 2023, per capita
consumption is expected to reach 66.1 kg, similar to the 2011 level.
In 2012, EU meat imports decreased further because of Argentina's policy of limiting exports in
a context of limited beef production, while imports from Brazil and Uruguay remained quite stable.
Consequently, imports were 4.4% lower (at 275 000 tonnes) in 2012 than in 2011 reaching their
lowest level in the past decade and failing to make up for low domestic supply. In 2013, EU imports
from third countries will grow by 10.6%, with rising shipments from Brazil and Uruguay, while
volumes from Argentina (despite some expected recovery in production) will contract further.
It is in this context of growth of imports that the Australia should fit, entering the market and
carve out new types of products, as well, a unique market niche.
EU consumers eat roughly 35 million tonnes each year of the various meat types. This amounts
to around 92 kilograms per head per year on average (plus 5 kg per head of edible offals).
Assuming that, we can suppose a percentage of 15% of kangaroo meats consume by the
European, that it means:
15% of 92 kg (per head per year) = 13.8 kg
The price per kg is $19.20 x 13.8 kg = $ 264.96 > annual expenditure per head the traditional
European family consists of 4 people $ 264.96 x4 = 1,059.84 $per family per year.
The 15% of 35 million tonnes is 5.25 million tonnes hypothetical consume of kangaroo meat
per year in EU.

1 tonne = 1,000 kg
5.25 million tonne = 5,250,000,000 kg
5,250,000,000 kg x 19.20$/kg = 100 800 000 000 $ > annual revenue

Assuming all above we can say that could be a potential annual profit of approximately 101
billion dollars for the export of kangaroo meat in Europe.

8. Legality
The Key rules on the import of fresh meat and meat products into the EU is that the Countries
of origin must be on a positive list of eligible countries, as said above. The eligibility criteria are:
ILSC Business College

BSBMKG415 & BSBRES401 Assessment V1:0615

Page 22 of 34

Exporting third countries must have a Competent Authority which is in charge of the
inspection and certification of veterinary and general hygiene conditions

The country or region of origin must fulfil the relevant Animal Health standards

The national authorities must also guarantee that the Hygiene and Public Health requirements
are met and that a monitoring system is in place to verify compliance with the maximum permitted
level of residues of veterinary medicines, pesticides and contaminants.

Imports are only authorized from Approved Establishments (e.g. slaughterhouses, cold stores,
processing plants), for which the national authorities have submitted guarantees

An inspection of the Commissions Food and Veterinary Office is necessary to confirm


compliance.

9. Trade Barriers
The meat of any species of kangaroo in Australia occurs wild animals, and since 2010 has been
exported to over 55 countries worldwide.
Kangaroo meat for human consumption legalized in South Australia in 1980, and in all other
states of Australia in 1993, is limited in availability, although consumption in Australia is becoming
more widespread. However, only 14.5% of Australians were reported in 2008 by eating kangaroo
meat at least four times a year. Many supermarkets now include Australian kangaroo meat including
steaks, minced meat and 'kanga Bangas' (decanguro sausages). Some restaurants in Australia serve
kangaroo meat
Kangaroo meat has been exported since 1959. Seventy percent of kangaroo meat is exported,
mainly to the European market: Germany and France and sold in supermarkets in England before the
suspension of imports of kangaroo. This meat in Russia, is widely used in Russian smallgoods. In 2008,
the industry was worth about US $ 250-270 million a year and offered around 4,000 jobs in Australia.
This meat is also transformed into dog food. Is a greener meat industry than sheep or cattle
breeding as kangaroos do not require much power, they are well adapted to drought, and do not
destroy the roots of native grasses. However kangaroos agriculture is economically unattractive
because of the initial costs and the inability of the culture product to compete economically against
those killed by hunters under the government quota system animals.
The cangantarinismo is a recent practice of following a diet that excludes meat, exept the
kangaroo, environmental and ethical reasons. Several Australian newspapers wrote about the
neologism "cangantarinismo" in February 2010, describing it as a vegetarian diet with the addition of
kangaroo meat as an option with environmental benefits, and kangaroos require little food and water
for their development and produce very little methane (a greenhouse gas), unlike cattle.
Cangantarinismo advocates also choose this meat because the Australian Kangaroos live natural lives,
eat organic food, and killed humanely. For similar reasons, Australians have discussed eating only
meat Australian wild camels.

Cultural Barriers

Traditionally in Europe has always eaten veal, pork, lamb, chicken and game, and only in recent
decades has spread to the alternative meat, seeing in the supermarkets exposed meat of ostrich,
horse, buffalo, and recently even kangaroo.

Spanish haute cuisine, the 'media coverage' of gastronomy, the extent of restoration quality
makes exotic meats have good acoguida among Spanish consumers. Bison tenderloin, alligator tail, leg
buffalo, impala chops, babilla zebra, gazelle tenderloin ... are already in some tables. There are more
than 50 varieties of exotic meats, whose consumption has increased markedly in recent years. And
with varied prices. In Spain we eat whatever, as the saying goes, "Everything runs or flies ... nothing
casserole." Why Kanguroo meat has great potential in the Spanish gastronomy.

11.

Conclusion

The consumption of meat on EU and Spain is increasing, and that create the new opportunities
for export. EU is not the new emerging markets but the consumption of meat in Spain is higher than
the EU average. This is the business opportunity, especially for new types of meats.
The market for kangaroo meat is still underdeveloped in EU, then we identified an important
market gap that also means low competition and potential high profit. then with a positive
contribution to the Spanish gastronomic culture kangaroo integration could be grown quickly in the
Spanish market. One of the key process will ensure that customers want to consume kangaroo meat
weekly and not as a novelty.

12.

Recommendations

Kangaroo is one of the healthiest meats around. The farming of our native meat has little to no
impact on the environment, it's cheap to buy compared to beef and lamb and when you know what to
do with it, the taste is delicious. Unfortunately, negative perceptions towards this nutritionally
valuable meat have slowed down what should be a burgeoning industry, but with increased
nutritional awareness and stringent hygiene measures in place.
The first is see kangaroo meat consumption more normal rather than a curiosity, that carries
health benefits and has a wide variety of uses. To make kangaroo meat and meat products more
visible to consumers as an easy to prepare, inviting alternative to mainstream meats, the industry
should work with manufacturers and retailers to develop and test sample products.

OPEN RANGE MEAT


Kangaroos are open range animals and the meat we eat is not farmed. In fact, kangaroos exist
over extensive pastoral areas of Australia and they are harvested in their own environment. Therefore
kangaroo meat is never exposed to human intervention, antibiotics, added growth hormones or added
chemicals. Its the ultimate clean meat the way we were meant to eat it.

active and graze on natural foliage, which produces a lean, high quality game meat.

(thats 148 calories). Lets put this into perspective. If youre an average adult needing 8700 kilojoules
a day, a 150g serving of kangaroo fillet will provide around 7% of your daily energy needs. That leaves
93% of kilojoules to come from other nutritious foods.

PROTEIN
When it comes to high-quality protein, kangaroo meat goes to the top of the list. A 150g serving
of kangaroo fillet (pre-cooked) provides an average adult with 66% of his/her daily protein needs.
Yes, thats right you get two thirds of the protein you need each day in one tasty kangaroo meal.
That must be music to the ears of fitness fanatics trying to gain strength, as protein contributes
to the growth of muscle mass. Whats more, protein helps to tame the appetite beast, so kangaroo
meat is a superb choice for those trying to pull in the belt. Protein curbs the appetite by triggering the
release of certain hormones, which in turn let your brain know the stomach is satisfied. So kangaroo
meat is a certainly a worthy protein hero to include as part of your main meals.

the types of fat found within this red meat. You see kangaroo meat is low in undesirable saturated
fats and trans fats the fats we should shy away from. On the flipside, this lean red meat contains
beneficial unsaturated fats, namely monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. These good guys
deserve a rightful place in our diet.
The low total fat and saturated fat content of kangaroo meat should be good news to the ears of
all Australians, including health-conscious consumers and those striving to maintain good heart
health.
