China: Shenyang Directly Imports U.S. Beef for the First Time in 15 Years

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

On January 18, 2018, Shenyang’s Huashang Morning News on page one ran a feature article highlighting U.S. beef reports. Contrary to popular understanding, the article notes that U.S. beef is selling at prices at parity with domestic prices. This will be the first of a series of reports by the Shenyang ATO on U.S. beef. In late January, the Shenyang will visit Jilin and Heilongjiang Provinces to report on U.S. beef demand in five cities, including Changchun, Jilin City, Harbin, Daqing and Qiqhar. What follows below is a translation of the news story by ATO Shenyang Agricultural Marketing Specialist Rex Zhang.
