Welcome to AMIC

The Australian Meat Industry Council (AMIC) is the Peak Council that represents retailers, processors, exporters and smallgoods manufacturers in the post-farm-gate meat industry.

THE 2009 REGIONAL AND STATE SAUSAGE KING AND SMALLGOODS COMPETITIONS ARE NOW COMPLETE!

All states have wound up this year’s search to determine the Independent Local Butchers who make the best sausages, smallgoods and meat dishes to be crowned State champions. With a sixth category of Australian Lamb/Open Class recently introduced to the Competition, butchers had even more chances of showing off their skills in the much celebrated race to become Sausage Kings. Queensland was the first to wind up its Regional Competitions after seven heats throughout the state. The State winners, which were judged at the Ekka will be posted with our next update in October. South Australia has also chosen its Regional Sausage Kings and will highlight all sausage entires at the Royal Adelaide Show in September. New South Wales got off to a very strong start with Sausage King in July and continued through to the State Final in October at Darling Harbour on October 10th.  All in, 20 heats were  held, keeping our NSW team and National office very busy over the past few months. Victoria’s Sausage King and Smallgoods Competitions had record numbers of entries in most heats. For the first time, Western Australia battled it out at the final, which was held at the Perth Royal Show in September and was a fantastic opportunity to highlight our ILBs. Tasmanian ILBs had to wait until October 22nd to showcase their skills in conjunction with the Royal Hobart Show. The combined 2009 Tasmanian Sausage King and the Best Tassie Butchers Burger Competitions took place at the Tasmanian Skills Institute Butchery School (TAFE) at the Royal Hobart Showground.
