# Trade uncertainty dominates global beef Q3

> 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.
