According to Phil Seng, U.S. Meat Export Federation vice president, that’s a 25 percent increase over 1987. “We see the Japanese market representing tremendous long term growth potential for red meat exporters, both for variety meats and also high-quality meats,” Seng said.

Last year the U.S. filled about 40 percent of Korea’s total imports. Taiwan increased its purchases 40 percent last year, and Hong Kong was up 50 percent. So we believe there are other areas that are going to ease the sting of losing the European market. “Mexico lowered many of their tariffs and duties, which helped our exporters,” Seng said. “In addition, cattle numbers in Mexico are down dramatically to about 38 million head. So from that 1 look for two things. One, we won’t see as many Mexican feeder cattle coming into this country, and two, I think we’ll see increased exports of American beef into Mexico.” Greg Henderson's article appeared in the January 5 issue of “Drovers Journal".
