Where's the Beef? Returning to China in New Trump Trade Win
A recent trade deal between the U.S. and China will allow American beef to be imported back into China. This agreement is expected to benefit U.S. cattle ranchers by restoring significant export value. The deal comes after a decline in U.S. beef exports to China, which had dropped dramatically in recent years.
- ▪The trade deal will enable China to import American beef from 17 states.
- ▪U.S. beef exports to China had fallen 48% in volume and 69% in dollar value over the past year.
- ▪The agreement is seen as a potential boost for American ranchers and could lead to lower beef prices for consumers.
