Introduction: after the first case of mad cow disease was found in September 2001 in Japanese beef consumption market, the second and third cases of mad cow disease were found, and the scope was expanded from the surrounding area of Tokyo to Hokkaido, which has relatively developed animal husbandry Since then, the Japanese have been psychologically far away from beef consumption, and this trend has been irremediable Japan not only produces beef for the consumer market, but also imports a large number of high-quality beef from abroad Moreover, the price of domestic beef in Japan has always been higher than that of imported beef The unified purchase price of domestic beef set by the Japanese government is 1114 yen per kilogram, which is far higher than the retail price of beef on the market and the price of imported beef around 600 yen per kilogram Although mad cow disease makes the market consumption of domestic beef and imported foreign beef fall sharply, and the market price of beef falls again and again, recently, the price of beef imported from abroad in Japan is showing signs of rising Japan mainly imports beef from the United States and Australia, but changes in supply often lead to major changes in the market At present, more accurate supply information has been obtained, saying that the number of processed cattle in the United States and Australia has declined, and the number of beef supplied to the Japanese market will decline Japanese restaurants and barbecues are fond of frozen beef made in the United States The quality and taste of frozen beef are also popular But at present, the market of frozen beef produced in the United States that importers sell to a large number of users reaches 400 yen to 420 yen per kilogram, 5% higher than the beef of the same specification and trading conditions in February this year, that is, 20 yen per kilogram Since the outbreak of mad cow disease in Japan in 2001, the beef consumption in the whole Japanese market has been in a weak state, so far there is no normal order of consumption After observing this significant change in Japanese beef market, the United States and Australia have taken corresponding measures at home to balance supply and demand and maintain reasonable export prices Specifically, it is to reduce the number of processing cattle exported to Japan In particular, the Japanese market is very popular with consumers in the U.S frozen beef part of the meat, one can only get 700 grams, "balance is expensive" makes the total supply of this kind of beef appears to be more short supply The beef sold at the beef counters and other places of major supermarkets in Japan has attracted the attention of consumers The sales of beef in common parts seems to be picking up slightly, but the domestic market for beef offal is still in low demand, and the beef consumption in this part has not improved in a short term Once the commodity changes in the Japanese market appear, they tend to extend their time inertia If there is any sudden impact, then this trend will continue to develop The market of imported beef will pick up a little bit (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
