Over the past 12 months the Livestock and Meat Commission (LMC) has developed a number of new communication tools to ensure everyone in the Northern Ireland red meat industry can keep up to date with industry information and LMC activities. These new tools include a new recipe and nutrition website, e Bulletin, text messaging service and LMC ezine (electronic magazine).

LMC Communications Manager Maria McLaughlin says. “There is a clear opportunity for LMC to help the industry's stakeholders really understand their local markets and to tune their businesses appropriately, LMC is therefore keen to ensure that all industry stakeholders have access to the information needed. All of the information sources are free of charge and so we hope that even more will make use of these free services over the next year".
