The South Korean government's decision to apply a 0% quota tariff on 100,000 tons of imported beef from the United States and Australia has been criticized by the National Korean Beef Association and the Hanwoo Policy Research Institute. Experts believe that the policy will primarily benefit importers and exporters, with consumer prices potentially rising due to increased importation of high-quality meat. The Hanwoo Policy Research Institute predicts that the Korean beef industry will suffer approximately 165.2 billion won in damage, and there are concerns that the policy could further decrease the self-sufficiency rate of domestic beef and threaten the existence of the Korean beef industry. The Korean Beef Association has expressed strong opposition to the policy and warned of potential negative impacts on Korean beef farmers.
