SAN FRANCISCO, California - November 19, 2025

DecisionNext, the leading AI platform that enables commodity buyers and sellers to optimize timing and pricing decisions, today announced a new partnership with Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA), a leading service organization supporting the Australian red meat and livestock industry.

This collaboration brings advanced forecasting capabilities to MLA members, enhancing market intelligence and decision-making across the beef supply chain.

With Australian beef stakeholders closely tied to U.S. market dynamics, access to reliable, forward-looking insights has become increasingly vital. DecisionNext has partnered with MLA to help curate a monthly newsletter report for their membership.

This report will deliver visibility into 11 key U.S. beef cuts critical to member strategies and will include a 26-week price forecast for each cut, alongside market commentary.

“Providing our members with access to reliable, AI-powered beef forecasts enhances their ability to navigate a complex global protein market,” said Paul da Silva, Regional Manager - North America at MLA. “Partnering with DecisionNext allows us to offer forward-looking insights that support better decision-making across the Australian beef supply chain.”

In addition to digital forecast access, MLA and DecisionNext will collaborate on periodic webinars to interpret market outlooks and provide practical guidance for applying AI forecasting in real-world procurement and marketing contexts.

“We’re proud to support Meat & Livestock Australia and its members with tools that transform uncertainty into opportunity,” said Rohit Aggarwal, COO of DecisionNext. “Our forecasting platform is designed to provide clarity, confidence, and competitive edge in fast-moving protein markets.”

The partnership reflects both organizations’ shared commitment to innovation, data transparency, and equipping the red meat sector with tools needed to thrive amid evolving market challenges.
