U.S. beef has the taste international consumers appreciate.
For the past several years, consumers in Japan, China and South Korea have been dominant purchasers of U.S. beef products, particularly cuts that American consumers won’t eat. Those countries led the $10 million in beef exports in 2021. That comes to $400 per head attributed solely to export markets, said Ethan Lane, NCBA’s vice president of government affairs Ethan Lane. Lane spoke during a general session on Feb. 3 at the 2022 Cattle Industry Convention in Houston.
