It's clear from comments ordsprog

It's clear from comments made in hearings this week that increased export opportunities for U.S. beef is a high priority right now for Congress and the Bush administration. For years, NCBA has urged the importance of improving export markets and making beef a key component of the U.S. trade agenda. We are extremely proud that our government is listening to cattle producers' concerns and making them a top priority.

U.S. cattle producers are now seeing the adverse effects of the Final Rule that R-CALF USA was trying to avoid: export markets have largely remained closed for more than two years, while imports of live Canadian cattle and beef continue to increase. This is depressing U.S. prices because many U.S. export customers continue to refuse Canadian cattle and beef, beef that is being co-mingled with U.S. beef but not marked as such.

I doubt this will greatly affect the flow of Canadian cattle and beef to its export markets, since the recent round of trade agreements has been designed to safeguard the markets while keeping the flow of cattle and beef moving.

The beef segment suffered from low capacity utilization and declining boxed beef prices. The negative effect of high live cattle prices and lower sales was made worse by interruptions in export markets.

Global protein sector challenges continued during the past quarter. High poultry inventories depressed retail poultry prices and contributed to declines in pork pricing in the US, although US pork industry volumes increased over last year. At the same time, extraordinarily high US live cattle costs in relation to finished box beef prices, combined with a continued lack of access to major Asian export markets, limited our beef operating results.

South Korea is a very important export market for U.S. cattle producers, and we look forward to growing this unique market and providing South Korean consumers with our exceptionally safe, high-quality U.S. beef products.

NCBA members have been leaders in the promotion of reliable, free and fair trade across the globe. But we are disappointed that once again, at a time when breaking down international trade barriers is the way forward for producer growth and increased profit opportunities, an arbitrary restriction on U.S. beef exports remains.

The commission has taken no chances when it has come to dealing with B.S.E., and the most stringent monitoring and control measures have been applied. Precautionary measures, including the embargo on U.K. beef exports, were taken when deemed necessary to fully protect consumers. However, the U.K. has made great strides in tackling this disease, and has met all of the criteria that were set for the lifting of the beef export ban, in line with scientific and veterinary advice. We must now acknowledge this and resume normal trade in this area.

While this is a not food safety issue, this is a unacceptable failure on our part to meet the requirements of our agreements with trading partner Japan. As I said, we take this matter very seriously, recognizing the importance of beef export markets. We are acting swiftly and firmly.

It's now clear that from the very moment President Bush took office, Iraq was his highest priority as unfinished business from the first Bush Administration. His agenda was clear: find a rationale to get rid of Saddam.

[Ottawa trade consultant Peter Clark wondered whether Mr. Bush would even be able to convince Congress to forsake billions of dollars' worth of farm export subsidies and other government aid.] I'm sure the President is sincere, ... But the administration doesn't have a very good record of delivering on these things.

Beef producers continued to expand the breeding herd for the second year. Beef cow numbers increased by 1 percent during 2005 after a small rise in 2004. The total number of cows increased by 338,000 head and the increase was concentrated in the western Corn Belt, where Missouri increased by 115,000 cows and Iowa by 40,000.

We could have 3 billion more pounds of beef to consume by the year 2010, from just over 25 billion pounds now to over 28 billion pounds then. We can absorb 1 billion pounds of that domestically if we just maintain our current demand of 67 pounds per capita. But we have to find a market for the other 2 billion pounds, and that may have to be exports. It's critical we get Japan, South Korea, Russia, and other markets opened. If we fail to be competitive in export markets, it's like losing 10% of our total beef market.

There are two concerns in U.S. cattle markets. First, there?s the concern that we would lose beef exports.

The U.K. has made great strides in tackling this disease and has met all of the criteria that were set for the lifting of the beef export ban.
