Co-op Islami

This facility won an award for being the Cleanest Factory in Jebel Ali Free Zone and has been awarded the 9001 ISO and HACCP certificate. In February this year it received the Dubai Quality Award for the previous year.

Co-op Islami is committed to the concept of "The Real Halal" and is totally compliant with the standards and principles of Islamic Sharia. The company's commitment is not limited to observing the conditions of Halal production. It goes beyond the minimum requirements to apply everything in the Islamic Rites.

Meat & Livestock Australia Limited
Meat & Livestock Australia Limited (MLA) is a producer-owned company that provides services to the entire Australian red meat industry including producers, processors, exporters, live exporters and retailers. MLA has around 30,000 livestock producer 'members'.

MLA's core activities are working to improve market access, building demand for Australian red meat and conducting research and development (R&D) to provide competitive advantages for the industry.

MLA is primarily funded by transaction levies paid by producers on livestock sales. This is supplemented by cooperative contributions from individual processors, wholesalers, food service operators and retailers. Processors and live animal exporters pay levies under contract to MLA. The Commonwealth Government is a major contributor, providing dollar-for-dollar funds for money spent on R&D.
