Rabobank's Beef Quarterly for Q3 2019 names trade uncertainty as the dominant theme, citing the US-China trade war, Brexit and new Mercosur access to the EU. It reports beef demand in China lifted imports by more than 50% year on year in the first half of 2019.
Supply is solid in the US and tight in Australia and New Zealand.
Strong Chinese beef import demand supports global beef prices and cattle values, while trade uncertainty adds volatility to export flows.
