Beef prices have recovered in Japan

Introduction: Due to the serious impact of mad cow disease on production and consumption, the problem has not been fundamentally solved However, after several days of abnormal fluctuations, the continuous disordered beef trading activities in the Japanese market began to restore the original business order this week On the 8th, the meat market in the central wholesale market of Tokyo Metropolitan Government held its first auction in 2002 In the first auction of this year, beef wholesalers purchased goods to make up for the insufficient inventory The sales situation between Japan and cattle was relatively ideal Basically, it can be said that the quantity level before the outbreak of BSE in September 2001 was recovered smoothly But the sluggish state of idle cow trading at the first auction has not changed In the first beef auction on August 8, the amount of beef sold by both parties was fixed at the limit of 20% reduction in 2001 However, in terms of varieties, there is a strong competition between the wholesalers in Japan and cattle business Since the outbreak of mad cow disease, Japanese beef wholesalers have been self-restraint, buying only the necessary amount of beef to ensure that they never reach out for a large number of purchases However, in the auction of this day, the large amount of beef stock that had been digested at the beginning of the year was taken into account, which was actively purchased with more purchases Not only in Tokyo, but also in another big consumer market In Japan, high-grade (grade) beef based varieties are more popular with consumers This part of Japanese cultivated and cattle used for barbecue and Shabu meat has turned its market; once again, it has become a more popular variety Of course, some ham manufacturers believe that a period of strong market demand up to the beginning of this year will come to an end, and further transactions between the buyer and the seller may turn to calm, and there is a risk of falling So some meat processing factories take some kind of controlled preparation Of course, it is the same domestic cattle in Japan, and the same situation that lasted until the end of 2001 has not improved What is the part of dairy cattle turning to meat consumption There are three BSE infected cattle found in Japan, all of which are prepared for meat processing instead of milking Until now, in Japanese supermarkets and other main places of shop consumption, consumers generally tend to stay away from cows From the second week of 2002, Japan will negotiate with imported beef from the United States, Australia and other countries According to the current market consumption, this negotiation is likely to be a low-key form that is unlikely to be popular Japanese consumers show enthusiasm for domestic production and cattle consumption, while on the other hand, they show indifference to cattle like cows The consumer psychology of imported beef is still in a state of insecurity Japanese supermarkets and beef wholesalers are still wary of the purchase of imported beef, and the order quantity has not increased significantly Compared with 2001, the reduction is over 30% Statistics in November 2001 have shown that supermarkets and beef wholesalers are less interested in imported beef Therefore, Japan's beef imports have declined nearly 30% compared with the same period in 2000 It is estimated that this decline trend will continue In April 1991, beef import liberalization was carried out in Japan At the beginning of the liberalization, 36 powerful companies were designated by the relevant Japanese administrative departments and agricultural and livestock industry revitalization organizations to operate beef import business However, after seeing that the open market for beef import is a good business opportunity, more than 100 companies soon participated in beef import business, competing to import beef of various specifications with good quality from abroad So the price of imported beef that used to look very expensive in the Japanese market began to fall (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
