# Bill Tatt: Big overseas demand for Australian beef | Daily Liberal | Dubbo, NSW

> Slaughter cattle prices to Indonesia have risen above AUD 4.00 per kg, the highest since May 2017. Despite large cattle imports through July and August, demand is still not fully met. The Indonesia-Australia trade agreement (IA-CEPA) has been concluded but not yet signed, and Indonesia has raised concerns over Australia's embassy location in Israel.
