Analysis of trade figures shows little change in the volume of pork traded between the 28 EU Member States in 2015.The precise trend is unclear due to some inconsistencies between data from different countries. Export figures show a 4 per cent rise in the amount traded, in line with the rise in production during the year, but import figures show a small fall. Either way, around 5.5 million tonnes of pork moved between EU countries during the year, nearly a quarter of total EU production (and roughly the same as the annual output of Germany, the EU’s largest pork producer). Almost 90 per cent of shipments came from the seven largest exporters. Germany. Read more...

‘Deep alarm’ has been expressedat progress on a Mercosur trade deal between the EU and South America, which includes proposals for a tariff rate quota for beef. ICSA president Patrick Kent has said its worst fears are beginning to crystallise with a proposal which he says would be utterly disastrous for the beef sector here. According to Kent, a tariff rate quota implies thousands of tons of tariff-free South American beef ‘flooding’ the EU market which will be devastating for Irish beef exports. “I am calling on the Minister for Trade Richard Bruton to immediately make strong representations that Ireland will not accept beef being sold out.

Following the introduction of new Country of Origin Labelling (COOL) regulations in the EU in April 2015, there was a concern that the trade in live pigs between EU countries could be reduced. Indeed, it would seem that it has had an effect on the live trade between countries such as the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany. There are virtually no live imports into the EU from third countries and only limited live exports to countries outside the EU, mostly to neighbouring countries such as Serbia, Albania and Moldova. The formerly important trade with Russia has now stopped, while trade with Ukraine is much reduced. The Dutch and Danes exported fewer pigs to Germany. Read more...
New figures show that the US imported more beef last year than any of the previous 11 years, up 50% on 2013 figures.The US imported 1.08m tonnes of beef in 2015, according to figures from the AHDB (the organisation for beef and lamb in the UK). This marks a considerable change for the US beef industry, as it is now dependent on imports to meet its beef demand. The US previously produced about 100,000t more beef than its domestic market required, but due to aseven-year decline in its cattle herd,it had to import almost 360,000t of beef last year to satisfy the markets demand. Changes in the currency market also had a negative impact on the US beef industry, making. Read more...
