# Cow-Calf Corner: Global dynamics affecting US meat trade; Heat and cattle - Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association

> US beef exports fell 3.6% in January to May 2019, with declines to Japan and Canada and a 41% drop to Hong Kong, while South Korea grew. Japan's exports are being hurt by the CPTPP tariff disadvantage the US faces because it is not a member.

## Why it matters
