Japan: Livestock and Products Semi-annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

U.S. beef is poised to reclaim lost market share in 2016, as Australian supplies tighten and price offers climb, despite a widening tariff advantage for Australian beef. Japanese beef production is expected to fall again in 2016 as the domestic feeder calf industry contracts further. Japanese pork production should finally recover from PEDv in 2016, tamping prospects for imported chilled pork. Ample global supplies of frozen pork in 2016 should help Japanese processors rebuild stocks and fuel continued competition between North American, South American and EU suppliers in the Japanese market.
