Market News

The Northern Territory Cattlemen’s Association Inc is the peak primary industry lobby group in the Northern Territory (NT). The NTCA represent over 98% of the NT cattle herd from small family operations to the large corporate organisations.

Our members manage a landmass in excess of 620,000 square kilometres; in 2005 we produce 532,000 high quality cattle per year. Over 212,000 head are delivered directly to the Port of Darwin for export to the Asia Pacific Region and a further 320,000 head are transported and sold to all states and Territories of Australia.

The NT pastoral industry generates over $330 million directly and over $880 million indirectly into the NT economy.

It is a powerful, effective and respected lobby group for cattlemen in the Northern Territory.

We hope you will join us and most importantly take an active role in pastoral affairs.

With continued help from our key affiliates Cattle Council of Australia (CCA) and National Farmer Federation (NFF) we must maintain our focus on key markets domestically and internationally, improving market accessibility and efficiencies for our members.
