The Australian Chicken Growers’ Council (ACGC) announced the appointment of David Inall as its new Chief Executive Officer. Inall brings more than three decades of leadership experience across the agricultural and grocery sectors, positioning the ACGC to navigate upcoming industry challenges and opportunities.

Owen Shaw, Chairman of ACGC, said the timing of David’s arrival is pivotal. “With ABARES set to release the much-anticipated Australian Chicken Meat Industry Review Report this month, our growers expect an agile organisation that can respond quickly to emerging issues. ACGC is committed to supporting and servicing the needs of growers nationally and we are pleased that David has joined us at this time.”

“David’s proven track record leading the Cattle Council of Australia, Australian Dairy Farmers, Master Grocers Australia, and serving five years in the United States with United Egg Producers—will be invaluable as we advocate for our members,” Shaw said.

Reflecting on his new role, Inall said, “I am thrilled to join an industry that at the farm gate is valued at $3.9 billion, supports nearly 60,000 Australian jobs and comprises more than 700 Australian farms dedicated to growing meat chickens. ACGC has championed the growers’ voices since the 1980s, and I look forward to building on that legacy, amplifying our members’ concerns and driving sustainable growth for Australian chicken growers.”
