After China, now US wants to stop beef from Brazil

Tridge summary

North American ranchers are expressing concerns over the rapid reporting of sanitary issues by Brazilians, particularly regarding recent atypical mad cow cases. This issue, along with an increase in Brazilian beef imports to the US, has led to calls for restrictions by the NCBA. The article also discusses the state of the global beef market, including reduced imports from Argentina, Uruguay, Australia, and Mexico, and the impact of the pandemic and Chinese import restrictions. Despite these challenges, a larger herd size is expected in 2022 due to advanced management practices and technology.

The USDA forecasts a decrease in US beef production but an increase in exports, while Rabobank suggests that exports are on the rise in Brazil, despite uncertainties from China's import decisions.
