New Zealand beef exports to China have doubled in the last couple of years, with a high demand for lean and grass-fed beef from the USA. New Zealand beef farmers and exporters have a positive outlook for the next 2-3 years to come, according to the NZ Beef Council. In New Zealand, beef exports have increased by over 100K tons, or about 22% over the last few years, with highly favorable prices. The industry is in extremely good condition, with a strong and loyal consumer base on a global scale. As a result of the Paris Agreement, it is possible to anticipate increased competition and volume from countries like Australia and Brazil.
