Hong Kong wants more organic beef
 

Importers in Hong Kong are keen to purchase organic beef as consumers are showing heightened interest in organic and natural food products, according to the Canadian Beef Export Federation.

Organic beef from Australia usually dominate sales across high-end supermarkets, but the with the strong competition for high-quality beef in Hong Kong, mainly for chilled cuts, importers are reportedly trying to establish distribution agreements directly with suppliers.

Even so, Wagyu beef from Japan is still considered as better quality than organic meat in Hong Kong.
