Lead: Australia's chilled beef exports to South Korea in September were worth a record $3.8 million, MLA said Wednesday Due to the continuous liberalization of trade in the Korean market and the strong promotional campaign from Australia, the number of Australian exports of chilled beef to South Korea has increased significantly this year, up to five times that of last year, said Ben Russell, regional manager of MLA in South Korea In September, Australia shipped 529 tons of chilled beef to South Korea, bringing the cumulative export volume this year to 3515 tons, worth a $26.5 million Compared with the same period last year, the volume was only 702 tons, worth 7 million Australian dollars Russell said that the reason why the export to South Korea reached this record level in September was that it was on the Korean Festival - "chusok", which also benefited from MLA's "health and safety" themed Australian beef promotion From January to September this year, Australia exported 58000 tons of chilled beef, up 53% from 38000 tons in the same period last year The value of exports rose to $236 million from $135 million last year (1 US dollar = 1.79 Australian dollar) (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
