[QUOTE="BC, post: 1551215, member: 67"] From the daily "The Cattle Report" under Beef Demand section ( [url=http://www.agcenter.com/newcattlereport.aspx]http://www.agcenter.com/newcattlereport.aspx[/url] ). "Exports reached the highest level in years in 2018 as the U.S. found increasing demand for quality, safe, American beef. Japan set to import records for American beef and Mexico re-established beef channels linked to our production. Korea continued to increase imports of our beef and smaller inroads were made with other trade partners. No story of exports is complete without an analysis of our trade relationship with China. Since the beginning of the century, beef consumption has increased 67% in China but beef still represents only10% of their meat consumption. A growing middle class is interested in more meat and more affluence means more beef. China has been a consumer of pork as the primary meat with pork consumption representing over 60%of all meat consumption. African Swine Fever is a real and expanding threat to pork supplies in China. Just this past week, the fever was found in one of the largest hog operations in China where 400,000 pigs are produced each year. The entire population of each contaminated farm will be eliminated to slow the spread of the disease. As the virulent virus spreads and threatens more hog production, the question of how the meat will be replaced? More pork imports will be an option but also substitution of beef might fit nicely into the plan. Beef currently enters China mainly through Hong Kong and illegally through Viet Nam.
