The webinar took place on Thursday 25 June from 2–3pm.
In this webinar, our listeners received a global perspective on the red meat sector’s supply chains from one of New Zealand’s largest processors ANZCO, and gained insights into Taste Pure Nature’s marketing activities in both the United States (live from Crafted Communications in California) and China. We also heard how the sector has pivoted in response to COVID-19 and the plan going forward in a post COVID-19 world.
This was an opportunity to hear directly from the people involved and ask your questions in a Q&A session.
