Why it matters
The tariff restricts market access for beef from countries like Argentina. Brazil, whose leading beef consumer is China, is reportedly preparing to scale back production in response to these restrictions.
Rabobank has reported increased beef imports from Argentina, while Australia is hitting China quotas and Brazil is facing EU shipment restrictions.
