Episode Details

Woolworths is pulling out of its Tasmanian beef contract starting 2027, citing rising costs of production and shipping across the Bass Strait — a move that devastates local farmers who relied on the steady income. With JBS’s Tasmanian abattoir also shutting down at the same time, producers face shrinking markets and fewer processing options. While Woolworths promises support during the transition, Coles has already cut ties with Tasmanian beef, leaving farmers scrambling for alternatives. This marks a major setback for Tasmania’s beef industry, as major retailers increasingly turn away from regional suppliers — even as they continue to source other local goods.
