Summary

The joint Livestock Export Program (LEP) was established by MLA and LiveCorp in 1998-1999 to help ensure a sustainable and profitable market-driven livestock export industry.  The Livestock Export R&D Program is part of the broader MLA-LiveCorp joint LEP which also includes communication, issues management, trade development and market access activities. A review of the R&D program recommended that an independent technical member be appointed to the Live Export R&D Advisory Committee (LERDAC) to add rigour to the project selection, design and monitoring process. These Company Managed Activities (CMA) cover professional fees, meals, travel and accommodation expenses attached to independent technical member on the LERDAC committee for the period 2011 to 2017.
CMA codes are: W.LIV.0140, W.LIV.0169 and W.LIV.0187
