Beef importers in China looking to renegotiate Brazil beef prices

January 22, 2020 Beef importers in China looking to renegotiate Brazil beef prices According to Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, importers from China are declining to pay for beef shipments exported from Brazil, negotiating discounts after the shipment has arrived to China, reported Reuters. China approved additional meat import sources overseas to supplement dwindling supplies of pork caused by the African swine fever outbreak in the country. Many new Brazil beef and other meat processing plants were recipients of the approvals, with more than 50% new deals coming from Brazil. Increased meat purchases from China has resulted in price hikes globally for meat, with domestic beef prices in Brazil hitting a record high late 2019. China also imports meat from Uruguay and Argentina. The report from Folha de S.Paulo said Brazilian producers who have arranged deals with China's meat importers are facing financial difficulties as the renegotiation means they cannot pay for the upgraded infrastructure invest

Japan proposes intellectual property protection for its wagyu beef cattle eggs and sperm

January 21, 2020 Japan proposes intellectual property protection for its wagyu beef cattle eggs and sperm The country's farm ministry proposed legalisation to guard intellectual property of its wagyu beef cattle fertilised eggs and sperm with increased fears of breeding efforts overseas, reported Kyodo News. The new law would restrict illegal trading, production and export of wagyu beef cattle eggs and sperm, and punish business owners and third parties who attain and trade wagyu beef cattle eggs and sperm without following mandatory processes. The proposal comes after a failed plan to smuggle fertilised wagyu beef cattle eggs and sperm to China in 2018. The Japanese government is keen to protect its prized wagyu beef cattle production and is looking to propose measures to stop foreign production of the livestock, which has been bred through years by domestic farmers through selective breeding. There are no laws currently that restrict the trade of wagyu beef cattle genetics to overseas. Once the ne
