Uncertain seasonal conditions for Australia are expected to slow cattle herd rebuilding. In 2018, cattle slaughter is forecast at 7.6 million head, with beef production at 2.15 million MT due to rising carcass weights. Beef exports are forecast to increase to 1.5 million MT in 2018 for this reason. Pig slaughter is forecast to increase to 5.15 million in 2018, with pig meat production to reach 400,000 MT. Exports are forecast to remain at 40,000 MT in 2018, with imports also stable at 230,000 MT. Biosecurity provisions prevent US imports of fresh, chilled and bone-in pork.
