Cattlemen's Association Seeks President Trump's Help in Openning Up Chinese Markets to US Beef

Mon, 27 Mar 2017 16:39:04 CDT

Cattlemen's Association Seeks President Trump's Help in Openning Up Chinese Markets to US Beef The National Cattlemen's Beef Association today sent a coalition letter to President Donald Trump, urging him to raise the restoration of U.S. beef access to China when he meets with Chinese President Xi Jinping in April. Leaders from the U.S. Meat Export Federation and the North American Meat Institute also signed the letter.


American beef producers have been denied access to China - a $2.6 billion import market -- since 2003. Last fall China announced that it had lifted its ban on imports of U.S. beef, but attempts since then to negotiate the technical terms of access have been unsuccessful.


"We believe that access to the large and growing Chinese beef market is essential to the future health of the U.S. beef industry," read the letter, which was signed by NCBA's CEO, Kendal Frazier. "We understand that you have many important issues to discuss with President Xi, but we strongly encourage you to take this important opportunity to convey the urgent need for China to reopen its market to U.S. beef."


In 2016, American beef producers sold $6.3 billion worth of U.S. beef to customers around the world, with three of the industry's top foreign markets located in Asia.
