# Pressure to Stop Importing Brazilian Beef After Mad Cow Case Confirmed

> The National Cattlemen's Beef Association asked USDA to immediately halt Brazilian beef imports after Brazil confirmed a case of mad cow disease (BSE) in Para state. NCBA said Brazil's 35-day reporting delay violated WOAH requirements and wants the border closed until Brazil complies with trade rules.

## Why it matters

Pressure to block Brazilian beef tightens US import supply and could lift domestic beef prices, while Brazil's export disruption affects global beef trade flows.
