2. “Drive sustainable productivity
improvements in the sheep and
beef sector to deliver higher
on-farm profitability.”

3. RMPP is a unique partnership between
farmers, processors, banks and government

4. RMPP Associated Partners
- Associated Partners are supporters and will be linked to the
RMPP programme
(Lincoln & Massey Universities)

5.  The programme arose from
the findings of the Red Meat
Sector Strategy (2011)
 Focused behind the farm-
gate on those areas within
farmers control
 Financial benefits estimated
at $284 million p.a. by 2025
in pre-tax on-farm profit
 That represents an additional
$117 per hectare

6. A focus on the core fundamentals of farming
• Supporting best practice on-farm
• Integrating:
• Planning/ budgeting
• Information systems to enable effective benchmarking
• Extension programs that will deliver proven practice outcomes
More informed
management
decisions on-farm

7. Farm profit
variability

8. Productivity gap
- Significant gap between high performing farms and lower quintile
(excludes lowest 20%)
- Focus needs to be on productivity by hectare

9. Fragmented information flows
- Inconsistencies in
information flows to
farmers

10.  Low knowledge and technology uptake in this sector
 Lack of system integration
 FMS, CMS, Overseer – can’t exchange data
 Lack of measurement and benchmarking
 No fully integrated benchmarking tool that incorporates all key
information from the sector
 Only five percent using an effective budget
 65% sheep & beef farmers don’t budget
 80% farmers believe they are in the top 20%

11.  Better understand farmer needs so we can develop better
extension and learning programmes
 Improving profitability and productivity of all farmers who
participate in the RMPP programme
 Increase focus on profitability per hectare
 Develop, trial and deliver effective farm extension
 Farm benchmarking and planning tools to support farmer
decision making
 Accurate and consistent information from multiple sources
 Identify the efficient pathways for stock from farm to
processor
 Consistency in farm quality assurance across NZ
 Common NZ story in the red meat sector

What does it mean for B+LNZ
operations?

21. • RMPP activity will be delivered by partners and providers.
• The intention is to avoid confusion at the farm. Delivery will
be through people and organisations that farmers already
know and understand.
• Delivery will not be done under an RMPP brand.
• Delivery will reference RMPP but be done under the
providers brand e.g. if B+LNZ are delivering RMPP activity
we will deliver under the B+LNZ banner.
Who delivers RMPP?

22. Does RMPP duplicate
existing B+LNZ activity?
• No, RMPP activity is additional to existing business-as-usual
(BAU) activity within B+LNZ.
• RMPP activity conducted by B+LNZ is intended to build on
and/or create new opportunities that can become
business-as-usual for B+LNZ beyond the life of the
programme.
• The alignment of B+LNZ activity with successful RMPP
initiatives provides the opportunity to transform B+LNZ
over the period of the RMPP programme and beyond.

23. How do we resource
this extra work?
• Any work that B+LNZ conducts for RMPP will be under
a service agreement that covers the costs of doing
that work.
• Where delivery of RMPP requires current B+LNZ staff
we will have the resources available (funded through
the service contracts) to provide back-up support.
