America overtakes China in Uruguay beef market shift

By Hagstrom Report | The Fence Post The United States is set to overtake China as Uruguay’s top market, fueled by firm demand and strong FOB (free on board) prices, while China’s dominance continues to erode after more than a decade at the top, the Agriculture Department’s Foreign Agricultural Service reported today. “The industry is also keeping a close watch on potential ripple effects from the U.S.-Brazil trade dispute,” FAS added. “In 1995, the United States allocated Uruguay a tariff rate quota of 20,000 tons product weight a year at a low tariff of $44 per ton.

The tips come from a "do more" list that Mayor Mike Johnston's administration posted as part of its $3 million marketing campaign that aims to persuade residents to help the city reach its climate goals.
