The International Meat trade
Woodhead Publishing Ltd, Jan 2003, Pages: 208
Since the first pioneering refrigerated ships successfully landed their cargoes of frozen meat from South America, Australia and New Zealand in Britain and France in the 1870s and 1880s, the international trade in meat has grown enormously. Although much of the meat is now chilled rather than frozen the annual global market can now be measured in billions.
Nowadays, the various flows of the international meat trade are complex, with many more countries of the world participating in some way, often as both importer and exporter. Methods of cutting and keeping the meat in good condition have become more sophisticated allowing a very high quality product to be traded and a large proportion of meat is now boned before export.
- Covers prices, production, consumption, imports and exports and future trends
- Analyses the impact of the WTO and the EU on the trade
- Written by a well known industry insider with an unrivalled grasp of the issues involved
- Essential for all those involved in the international meat trade as producers, importers, exporters, regulators or government agencies
This looseleaf seeks to describe and analyse the main trade patterns in meat at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It starts by setting out the main policy and support arrangements in place and the moves to simplify and reduce the number of these by the World Trade Organization.
It goes on to:
- Provide an overview of the world's meat industry by region
- Explain which countries are the largest producers and consumers and why
- Describe how some countries are expanding their exports
- Show where the main markets are and how they are developing
- Compare prices and consumption patterns between different markets
- Estimate how the world trade in beef, sheep meat, pig meat and poultry meat will change in the future
Each of the main traded meat types is dealt with individually because each sector has unique characteristics. Much of the analysis is given in a clear and easily understood tabular format so as to provide a comprehensive reference tool for those needing to look closely at the background to the trade.
With the recent crises in the meat supply chain in the UK and elsewhere, seldom has the international meat industry been subject to as much scrutiny as it is at the moment. The international meat trade brings the industry into sharp focus by providing a unique source of market statistics and analysis of trends, future outlook, and threats and opportunities. This is an in-depth survey that no one involved in the international meat marketplace can afford to be without.
