Each day more and more Australians are choosing chicken as their preferred source of meat protein.

According to the Australian Chicken Meat Federation (ACMF), chicken and beef/veal are currently the two most often consumed meats in Australia at 36.2 kg/person and 39.8 kg/person respectively, per year.

It is important to note that while beef & veal consumption has fallen since the 1980’s, the consumption of chicken has risen steadily since 1945.

This tremendous growth in poultry consumption has meant that Lenards, Australia's leading retailer of fresh & value-added chicken products, is now seeking passionate people who want to own their own business with the security of a proven franchise system.
