January beef exports were down 13% (43,362mt swt) YOY and were the lowest volume since January 2011. Volumes to Japan have been on a downward trend in the last couple of months as Japanese buyers contend with high prices and lower consumer purchasing activity. Australian live feeder/slaughter cattle exports were down 66% YOY and reached their lowest volume in over five years, reflecting the low availability of cattle and seasonal wet season transport difficulties.
