U.S. Beef Arrives in South Korea
USAgNet - 07/30/2008
For the first time in five years, U.S. beef with bones has arrived in South Korea. The 1.5 ton shipment includes ribs along with other cuts with and without bones.
The import of U.S. beef is the first shipment since April, when South Korea agreed to lift the ban on U.S. beef imports. The import of boneless U.S. beef has been limited in recent years due to the discovery
of some bones in shipments.
The response to U.S. beef is still in question as protesters that number in the tens of thousands are demanding that U.S. beef not be imported due to fear of mad-cow disease. Prior to the mad-cow scare in
2003, South Korea imported $850 million of U.S. beef annually.
