U.S. Beef Imports: Australia Largest Market; Uruguay Up 32%



Recently, the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) published U.S. red meat import data for September 2007. According to the statistics, U.S. beef and veal imports during September totaled 68,687 MT. This was down 16.5 percent from the previous month but was nearly unchanged from September 2006 as imports were being affected by a depreciating U.S. dollar. More specifically, fresh, chilled beef imports equaled 26,334 MT, which was 7.4 percent lower than the previous month and was unchanged from September 2006. Frozen beef imports equaled 33,684 MT, which was 24.1 percent less than August and was little changed from September 2006. During September, U.S. beef imports from Australia fell 14.6 percent from the previous month to 21,745 MT.



During the first three quarters of the year, beef imports from Australia totaled 222,045 MT, 1.5 percent above last year. Australia was the largest beef import market for the U.S. with 28.1 percent of the total. During September, the U.S. imported 21,600 MT of beef from Canada. This was 5.8 percent less than August. Total year-to-date beef imports from Canada equaled 212,724 MT, 2.5 percent less than a year ago. Beef imports from New Zealand during September fell 36.3 percent from the previous month to 6,601 MT. Year-to-date imports of beef from New Zealand were 6.6 percent less than a year ago, amounting to 146,039 MT. During September, the U.S. imported 7,034 MT of beef from Uruguay, which was 30.2 percent lower than August. Total year-to-date beef imports from Uruguay equaled 103,869 MT, 32.1 percent greater than a year ago. Overall, U.S. total beef and veal imports during the first three quarters of 2007 reached 791,011 MT, 2.9 percent above the corresponding period a year ago.

Still searching, BMR? I'm beginning to think you were just flapping your lips.......

speaking of flapping, I haven't seen the Western Livestock Journal yet this week, but how did your letter to the editor with your questions for Pete Crow work out for you? :wink:

No unlike you I have 400 calves on feed so they take some care and then I been busy trying to get Haymaker to post the number of cows he's had tested. Wonder how many were tested in the state of Texas. maybe i've tested more than even Texas.

Haven't you heard? The packer USDA isn't allowing any testing they don't do.

Well, we both know that R-CALF never said that, so don't leave those calves alone for too long.

If the CDC is correct, and you are supposed to defer to government agencies in this country as they know every flipping thing and are infalible :roll: , you should be testing many more up there since your rate is 26 times higher than ours.

Sorry to take so long Sandy but heres my proof which must be true cause it always works for you.

"Everything I post is fully substantiated by my own opinion."

Actully if you go to R-Calfs website just about every other news release is about trade problems.

Did you write that letter to the editor yet? you never answered Yanuck

If it's your opinion, don't put words other's mouths.

We have a lot of trade problems. That is a far cry from your statement.

Yes I did answer Yanuck.

I'd like to ask Mr. Crow a couple of questions;

How can the USDA's decision be anything other than arbitrary and capricious? Exactly what definition of "low" are they using? What scale? Who decided what is "low", "medium", or "high"? I'm not real comfortable accepting biased opinions from the same group that claimed Canada's feed ban was effective in 1997, is he?

Does HE believe the USDA is the undisputed authority on BSE?

Does he believe that decisions by government agencies should be exempt from challenges by the citizenry?

When has it been a bad idea to sit at the same table as your customers?

Wouldn't an anti-beef group be running hard with the BSE issue instead of a "no mention"?

Here you go Sandhusker, in case you forgot what your questions were 8)

You go to the site and try to find the article. I couldn't. If I'm going to reply to an article, I need to know what article it was.

You don't need to go to the site, all you have to do is go to the Bull Session form and goes to the page where it says R-CALF editorial on the border reopening, click on that and read the 1st post, the entire editorial is there. Did you actually read it the first time when you wrote those questions?

Do you suppose it slowed because they were checking for e-coli? (I'm just asking, not making assumptions.) Cargill seems to be doing quite well exporting beef to Japan and S. Korea and the middle east..... too bad they put bone in the US exports, oh but that was a mistake wasn't it.

Australia Beef Exports: Japan Largest Market; South Korea Surge

Recently, Australia’s Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) issued October 2007 red meat export data for Australia. According to the numbers, during October, Australia exported 86,607 MT of beef and veal. This was 19.3 percent more than the previous month but was 4.5 percent less than October 2006. Specifically, frozen beef exports equaled 61,603 MT, which accounted for 71.1 percent of the total. Fresh, chilled beef exports equaled 25,004 MT. Australia’s beef exports to Japan during October rose 23.7 percent over September to 33,065 MT.

However, this was down 10.7 percent from October 2006. Total year-to-date beef exports to Japan equaled 314,494 MT, 4.5 percent below a year ago. Japan was Australia’s largest beef export market with 40.3 percent of the total. During October, Australia exported 27,212 MT of beef to the U.S. This was up 8.5 percent over the previous month but was down 3.4 percent from October 2006. Year-to-date beef exports to the U.S. were 2.9 percent higher than a year ago, amounting to 256,481 MT.

During October, Australia exported 13,293 MT of beef to South Korea, which was up 28.2 percent over the previous month but was down 5.9 percent from October 2006.

The monthly surge was due to South Korea re-implementing a ban on U.S. beef.

Year-to-date beef exports to South Korea totaled 115,367 MT, slightly less than a year ago. Overall, Australia’s total year-to-date beef and veal exports equaled 780,609 MT, nearly unchanged from the same period a year ago.

Mr. Crow didn't submit it to the Bull Session. I want to respond to the source, and I can't find the source. You found that article somewhere, where was it?
