In the US, beef prices have been increasing due to strong demand and a scarcity of cattle. Imports of beef are expected to reach the highest level since 2005, as domestic production is expected to decrease. In Brazil, beef prices have been falling due to increased livestock supply, while export prices have increased. In Europe, beef prices have also been falling due to seasonality and a decline in domestic production. Poultry prices in Brazil are expected to remain low due to large supply, while chicken prices have increased slightly.
