Facilitation

The Strategic Review of LMC which concluded in January 2011 recognised the important role that LMC plays as an independent body in providing an ‘Honest Broker’ role for the industry. LMC undertakes a number of important facilitative roles on behalf of the Northern Ireland Red Meat Industry including

• Chairmanship and co-ordination of the work of the Northern Ireland Red Meat Strategic Forum
• Chairmanship and co-ordination of the work of the FQAS Industry Board & Standard Setting Committee
• Managing FQAS relationships with Assured Food Standards and other recognized Red Tractor Schemes

LMC also facilitated the industry / government working group on the introduction of Video Image Analysis (VIA) into the main NI slaughter plants and since its introduction in March 2011 has continued to provide independent analysis of VIA grading results on cattle prices.
