While #MadOrangeKing is frothing at the mouth on TRuthSocial , I hope the following will put paid to those deploring the #USBeef import decision. Quoting from The Guardain Live :

Australia produced 2.5m tonnes of beef last year, of which just over one-fifth was consumed onshore.

In addition to that, the US beef industry has not currently been meeting its own internal demand. The US cattle herd is at a 74-year low due to prolonged drought conditions. In 2024 the US imported 525,980 tonnes of Australian beef to fill the gap.

Meat & Livestock Australia yesterday assessed the impact of the lifting of the restrictions to be minimal.

The potential for US beef to be imported into Australia in large volumes is minimal, given the high demand for beef in the US, the low US cattle herd, the strength of the Australian dollar, our competitive domestic supply, and most importantly Australians’ strong preference for high-quality, tasty and nutritious Australian beef.’

Australians consumers should #boycott all US products anyway. We have sufficiency in over-abundance here already. Besides we shouls all be vegetarians anyway… (sry, just sayin’…)
