China has had a long history of eating little meat with a lot of vegetables, but the last 35 years has seen an increase in meat consumption with an expanding population, so both facts are true.

Australia wanted to know where covid originated in order to try to prevent another pandemic in the future. China had a guilt complex as covid started in China and punished Australia for having said that covid stared in China. They also stopped buying coal - until they were desperate for supply.
Shortly after the pandemic, I saw a few videos where they buried huge quantities of slaughtered animals. They used large backhoes to dig gigantic holes, thousands of cattle and pigs were literally wasted. Then the prices went up due to "shortages." What a wonderful world we live-in, lol.
That how you make business. Same as bakery that throw out leftover food instead giving it free to people. Because once giving for free, customer wont buy it and waiting to wait giving leftover
I know the video you are talking about and this has been debunked, the cows were sick and diseased, they were killed as such, you cannot eat diseased meat as its a enormous health violation, even in the poorest of african countries diseased cows are slaughtered since the meat is sometimes more deadly than starvation itself
@@lindanorris2455Sorry wrong, that's Koreans, not Chinese. The COO of a casino I used to work for in Las Vegas, his gf was Korean and once her and I were waiting for him to finish a meeting and I was telling her one of my dogs was in the hospital with an unknown blood disease (she made it a week only before she was so bad and there was nothing left that I had to call from LV and have her put down) and this lady relayed the story of a puppy the got when she was a young girl and the one afternoon she came and couldn't find her dog (she was 16 then) and when she inquired of her mother, she just looked sad and said you better see your father. She ran out to the garden and he was barbecuing and it clicked. He was oozing her dog for dinner, whi h was not an abnormal thing to do, but living in the States for a number of years, she did not imagine this would happen. She said she couldn't eat dinner and hated her father from that day on. I grew up on a beef cattle ranch, we didn't own, but us kids would help work the cows, irrigation, assist the owner with rough birthing, deporting, and castration, in trade for the rent of a house a small bit of land for our horses, and we always had lots of dogs and cats which strays people would drop off. So I had never heard of people eating dogs, but she said it was common back in Korea. But man, kinda shook up my day. As far as China and meat buying, they buy more pork than beef and they are trying raise more and more domestically to diversify sources. Lastly, they have decided to buy more and more from China-friendly countries, such as those who are members of or are trying to gain membership in BRICS+. This of course gains them a couple benefits, probably more, but first they are likely to get a good price deal (quality is moot, since China will not buy if quality is not to their liking) and second, the won't any commodities markets to add costs and take profits away from producers. The U.S. has a delusional thinking which says they will buy less stuff from Chine but China will buy stuff from us which we want them to. The world economy is slowing down and therefore therefore China producing more ďomestically and buying from friendly country, which the U.S. is not. So why should China buy meat from the U.S.?
I worked in a warehouse that shipped frozen port to China. We would hand load 20-60 lb boxes of various cuts into a 40' shipping container. Some of the rows we had to heave the boxes above our heads. 1000-1200 boxes per container, depending on the box weight. Took a couple of hours per container for a 5-6man crew. Each box had to have a specific government export label. If we put just one box with the label not showing, they took a picture, tossed all of the unloaded boxes back in and shipped it back, at our expense. After a couple of returned containers our bosses got very up tight about it. The good old (min wage) days wearing winter clothes during the summer because we were working in a literal freezer.
Thank you!...I read your comment and damn near choked to death on a meat ball, followed by a 5 minute coughing fit...........I'm sure there's a moral there somewhere...........
@@paulholbrook7315 I like those spontaneous comments, lol. Gives them an air of honesty. Not much of that lately. So yeah,they killed all the animals they could not sell and buried them in giant holes. They could have given them to people for food, but what an inconvenience, lol. People are starving everywhere and they go and do that, what a waste. It would have caused the price of meat to dive if their was this sudden free supply of meat, it would flood the market with free meat and this would have affected the price, downward pressure. The system we live in encourages scarcity. who cares if people are starving, we gotta make some money here. We live in a cruel and absurd system.
That's your perception. Actually has lot to do with supply& demand, the temporary price stagnation will eventually have the breeders reduce their stocks or fold. When that happens, longer term on supply issue.
You should know that exports bring money into country. That means a bigger gross domestic product, that means more money for hospitals, investments in infrastructure and so on. It is more than desirable that exports numbers to be bigger that import numbers.
NOPE! They will just produce less and jack up the price! Corporations are in the business for profit, NOT some holy Saint that want to save the world or to help you out of good will.
@@apathyguy8338 Oregon for one shuts down small farms. You have to spend most of your money on the dispatching and processing of your animals. If you want to do it your self youre spending 250k on a facility. You lose money on farming. You already need a barn and land. You cant inherit a farm because the taxes are too much for a farmers kid to pay to keep the farm. Its all designed so the billionaires can buy your land and add it to their portfolio. The fda and usda are in the pockets of the megas like tyson and smithfield. They dont want an individual to be able to start a farm. They want every individual to be their employee.
If we stopped at the FDA and the USDA from inspecting meat, then we could buy more affordable crap like we used to get before them. Meat that would make you sick meat that was spoiled. Meet that was adulterated with poisonous chemicals to hide the fact that was spoiled. Why aren’t you one of the peoples saying the FAA shouldn’t be bothering Boeing?
@@apathyguy8338 Regulatory authorities have regulations to ensure quality assurance. So you don't get supplied with diseased etc meat. Unit cost can be higher for small producers to comply. And they are usually the most non-compliant, the lifestyle farmer from downtown Manhattan isn't teh sharpest tack when farming. They also feature higher per unit for animal welfare abuse., stray animals & pets etc.
Sausages and other preserved meats can last months on shelves, or YEARS in freezers. I always freeze meat in my chest freezer, which stays at 0F. When properly wrapped, it lasts for up to 5 years before becoming tough. Still edible, but needs slow-cooking to tenderize at that point. Not a problem for larger cuts used for stewing (stew recipes for game meat like venison work perfectly).
China is more than welcome to introduce high tariffs on imported food. Why dont they? Because China is so heavily dependent on other countries for food they cant survive with out imports.
@@PelleGIT China ain't stupid like uass. China imposing tariff on meat import will only hurt itself. Whereas uass imposing ban on chip export are hurting its own industries.
@@FrankiePo89 Lets see what chinese people think when the price of pork goes up a lot and all the poor chinese start to starve like they did under Mao.
Australia does not have an overproduction of meat. As a sheep farmer livestock levels are determined by supply and demand. When stocks are in short supply the prices go up and when the supply is abundant prices go down and less livestock is bred.
Government subsidies also limit supplies by paying farmers not to grow or raise specific crops and live stock, so the consumer still gets played like a fiddle.
I like how sellers have this mentality that all consumers should bow to them and somehow they are the victim when the consumers no longer want to play their game.
Food production is not a game. Livestock and fruit and vegetable growers put a lot of work and effort into producing their product. They have no control over the "middle man".
I used to work where we processed beef for export, they always got our best meat, we got left with seconds. So really when you think of it we don't really have enough cattle, especially considering the floods and droughts we've had in the last decade. We were running short but they still shipped more overseas.
Also the US has had decreasing cattle population for over 50 years. The US farmer is getting older and much fewer in number. Most US beef IS raised on family farms. Due to the time cycle of raising cattle and the amount of land and feed required is too great for even industry to handle. During covid feeders and fats feel like a rock price wise BUT kill cows and slaughter bulls sky rocketed due to more folks cooking at home and eating more burger.
Very glad I live in a rural farming community. The local meat markets butcher and sell locally grown beef, pork and chicken. Granddaughter raises chickens, so get fresh eggs, have gardens so fresh produce, have an Amish community nearby.
You don’t cover supply and demand in this video. If there is less demand coming from China the price will drop so they can sell their product. If there is a reduction in prices other countries who can’t afford to buy as much meat will be able to buy because of this reduction, and the countries who already consume meat will buy more meat because the reduction in price. I’m not saying there won’t be difficulties but that’s the thing about capitalism supply and demand.
#1, You don’t understand supply and demand, in short term yes, price drop with less demand, but in long run, market will adjust as supply will not stay the same level. meat farms will produce less meat and chase other profitable products. #2, you don’t understand capitalism. European trucks dump milk on the floor than selling it cheap/discount. Capitalists will do a lot worse to protect their profits.
Bit too much gloom and negativity. Also I never noticed meat disappearing from Australian supermarkets and as for the coal, very quickly China started reimporting coal due to the fact they realised they needed it.
If other countries can't afford the price of meat in the first place why would you need the price to come down if the producer is not your own government. Capitalism don't care about the poor people. That's the reality.
@@sunayakong8537 are you going to tell me the China doesn't have to import almost everything except excellent spies. Welcomed into our most strategist portions of advanced education, Jimmy Carter decided to allow Chinese nationals into Yale Harvard and Stanford, in the hopes that they would embrace Democracy and freedom. The Chinese pick and stoled everything that they could and returned to mother China because if they didn't,their families back in China would suffer immense pain.its a little like current day America
China is the world's largest producer of meat, producing over 253,024,735 tons in 2023. In 2023, China produced approximately 92.27 million tons of beef, up 3.8% from the previous year. Also China is the world's largest producer of many crops and the world's largest producer of seafood, accounting for about one-third of the global total. Food is one of few things China can buy from US I don't think China really need US. They can get beef, corns and grain from Brazil and Russia. It is more a strategic move to diversify the supply chain, bargaining chips and values. China only has 10% of world's arable land. So it would prefer to use the land for more high value food.
Welp I won't go as far as asserting "China doesn't need US", since with all the tariffs in place US is still a key trading partner, be it agricultural produce like soy or on the ip (intellectual property) side of things
If China produces so much food, why do they need to import more than 50% of their food? And their food import dependency is increasing every year. China is far far from being able to feed itself and a large part of their land and is so polluted it cant be used for agriculture.
Naaa. A decade ago yes but now they eat a lot of meat. One generation and Chinese are twice the size as you can see from their Olympic performance. Before, small people, now big people and that's down to protein.
Meat consumption skyrocketed once they became the world's factory for sure. But now that a lot of countries have been shifting it to other places, who knows.
Rubbish! It's because imported meat especially from the US, Canada, Australia etc etc are tainted with lead and steroids. I lived in China for 3 months during the CNY. We ate lots of meat and seafood. The meat and seafood are not from those countries I have mentioned. Seafood are from Xinjiang and Fujian Province I was told.
It is absolutely arrogant that every disease is named after Africa may it be in cows, horses, pigs, poultry and humans. The Western world are the largest and wealthiest in everything, and what is considered western lifestyle. When Europeans eat horses and donkeys no one saying anything negative, let that happen in other countries it would be classified as poverty and lack of understanding and knowledge.
I worked at a meat shipping plant that exported to China before and after the pandemic. I still remember whole boxes of spines, ears and heads. As the phrase goes, you don't want to know what goes in the sausage. I couldn't eat meat for a while.
New Zealanders already feeling the effects of China not buying meat and don’t think that it’s gonna get cheaper at the supermarket because the processing companies have still gotta make profit so it will become more expensive for consumers
What most people don't seem to realize is that cattle in Brazil is normally produced in large properties on open areas solely with grazing. Since Brazil has a tropical weather and usually gets plenty of sunlight and rain, cattle usually does not have to be confined and usually does not require special treatment during the winter months. These are the main reasons Brazil is so competitive in this market. When it comes to pork, pigs require pig feed. That usually boils down to 3 ingredients: corn, soy beans and cotton. Brazil is among the top 3 producers of all 3. And while most countries produce 1 harvest per year, Brazil harvests corn 2x per year. Poultry and Pigs are industries very much dependent of the price of feed which in turn is very much dependent on favorable weather conditions. So cyclical crisis happen on these industries when there is a mismatch between the price of the meat in the global market and the price / availability of the feed in the local market. Brazil sells about 90% of what it produces to China. OBVIOUSLY, that is a reason for concern.
the trade need balance between countries, Brazil import made in China products from China, and China import food from Brazil. that's what a normal trade between countries should be.
@@pipiqiqi4010 I agree that multilateral trade is desirable, but over reliance on any one single partner isn't. All efforts should be made to diversify the economy so that does not remain a problem.

@@userwsyz The issue is not that China is the country to buy 90% of what we make. The issue is one of long term economic planing and strategic decision: Brazil should focus on reducing cost formation and reforming the business environment in order to reindustrialize and attract industrial investments. In other words, diversification of the economy and adding value to the economic chain. That also requires reducing import tariffs.
My friend tried to raise prime Angus cows in northern Arizona. He had 100 animals and grazed them on 16,000 acres of leased Indian land. Then the NAFTA deal was made and instantly his beef was only worth 1/4 of its previous value. His stock was worthless as Mexican beed flooded the market. He sold prime animals for less than $100 each and shut down his dream.

@@AzucenahVillarroel I was a hard core vegan in 2012-2013. The options for that lifestyle were not as varied as they are today but people will still compare the taste of meat to the vegan offerings. The offerings compare more positively than 10-15 years ago and I have tried a few of them. Some are quite impressive. Personally I have cut out red meat from my diet and follow a mostly Mediterranean style of eating. Lot's of veg, olive oil and a lot less meat in general (mostly in serving size) As the latest offerings of meat replacements improve in both taste and texture, I will likely cut out animal products altogether. Time will tell.

Some E.U countries are being told to reduce cattle and other livestock farming due to the E.U passing a law to combat climate change. That will affect their economies a lot.
Here in the Netherlands, politics has gone crazy due to the EU's climate plans. Farms must emit less CO2, so fewer animals or stop, now that plan is not working well due to protests from citizens and farmers, they have decided that they should use less animal manure to fertilize agricultural land, because this is bad for water quality according to the EU. These manure surpluses are a means of forcing farmers to have fewer livestock because the disposal of manure is very expensive.
@@JUDITHBEARD-v3f Tell this to the farmers who are forced to stop, and those who are now left with half-empty stables while they don't earn enough. A few years ago, farmers could easily borrow money to build mega stables that, according to calculations, could easily be recouped. With the new EU regulations, many farmers will simply go bankrupt. Not only farmers are affected by this, but also many suppliers and transporters. Not to forget the many young farmers who cannot now take over the family business because it is no longer allowed or is no longer profitable. EU regulations have gone way too far with their CO2 targets, especially for such a small country as the Netherlands. Calculations show that even if all farmers were to stop, CO2 emissions in the Netherlands would only decrease by 0.03%, so it's completely bullshit.
Very Informative. Latin American countries do not get involved in the PRC's politics. Australia seems to have adopted a more favourable attitude. The PRC values long term relationships. These suppliers do not need to worry.

lol, prices aren’t coming down any time soon. The US cattle numbers are so far down, and Canadian numbers have been decreasing for 20 years now. A lot of what ships to China doesn’t meet our quality standards, so won’t be coming here too fast to fill any voids. Alternatives like chicken and pork are also low on supply, so the typical switching over won’t happen. And horse meat is almost impossible to find in North America any more, so good luck.

What a bunch of bull, ive got 2 words for you guys. MARKET CAPTURE. The more people get your product the more profit you make. If 100000 americans get your meat for $10 dollars instead of 20000 americans for $12 then youre making a profit. These companies have a huge problem, and that is greed. If americans, australians etc could afford to eat steak and ribs every night they would absolutely do that, instead they cant afford it period.
This comment should get pinned, the Chinese are not the only consumer of meat, nearly every country in the world eats some part of meat. And for those fickle parts that certain countries don’t eat, there’s other places that might like it.
I'm already prepping to grow my own meat. You can either eat bugs like the WEF wants us to, or we can raise our own. If they shut me down here, I just leave and set up shop somewhere else. Even if I have to live in the ocean and grow fish to eat, I figure it's better than eating bugs.

This is skewed because it neglects to account for the amount of imports that turn around and become exports after different types of processing. Which accounts for a sizable amount of china's imports. As long as it has companies that use imports for these purposes they will continue to import so while the numbers may drop some due to consumer consumption or due to animal illness or tainted meat I do not see it ending anytime soon unless the rest of the world that imports these goods from China stops doing so.

What Happens When China Stops Buying Meat From Your Country? Well, to illustrate, it's simple: the US is the largest exporter of corn in the world, with a large part of the production going to China and Mexico. After many sanctions and attempts by the US government against the Chinese economy, China decided to stop importing corn from the US and to embargo this item. They invested heavily and made Brazil (which was not even among the 10 largest corn producers) become the third-largest producer and the second-largest exporter. Those who produce more corn, oats, and soybeans also produce more feed and therefore more meat, making Brazil the largest meat exporter in the world. To preserve its culture, Mexico passed a law banning the import of transgenic corn. The US lost its two largest markets in a short period. There are no other major buyers, affecting the entire corn production chain in the American Midwest, as well as countless jobs and cities. If the corn that is produced every year in the USA was like this (in Brazil, there are 2 corn harvests per year), imagine meat, which needs many other resources to be produced and especially time, after all, from a calf to a cattle ready for slaughter takes a long time and that is why meat has a high added value.
@@G_de_Coligny they already do it and guess what: most countries are not able to use it. Part of the biofuel from the US goes straight to Brazil as cars here (most) are biofuels, different from the US where most cars are gas only. But it is still not enough....
When China stops buying meat from your country, the agricultural economy could suffer serious damage. Farmers and workers were hit hard, markets were in turmoil, and development opportunities were threatened. This is a big shock for the agricultural industry.
It’s such a shame that factory farmers will lose out it’s almost as if their business practice is immoral and poor for animals, people and the environment.
That would result in a lot of unemployed bankrupt US farmers. Russia is just opening up 30 million hectares of agricultural land. Believe it or not,they will buy their grain from there,and not some GMO sheet. Already reduced purchasing 500k tonnes of US agricultural products. That hurts.
If only countries made what they needed and used that instead of outsourcing labour. If only everyone in power weren't corrupt. If only you all actually held people accountable for screwing things up.
Hmmmm. What I’m hearing is that, if we turn off the supply of meat, we can cause hunger in the camp of our enemy. China messed around with Australia and then lost their major supplier of coal. No coal from Australia meant no coal for power plants, ie not electric power generation. Hunger would work too.
China's own coal reserves are enough for China to use for at least 500 years. However, when Russia is willing to reduce the CIF price to be lower than that of China's own coal, China doesn't mind buying some. After all, China has the largest trade surplus in the world, so it is not appropriate not to buy anything.
@@amandagrant4331 Well THAT explains why China go so upset when Australia cut off sales of coal to China. Given that what you’re saying is all accurate, why did power plants that depended on foreign coal shut down as a result of being cut off from supply?

Food banks will happily take donated foods from farmers like meat, & potatoes. They also take game meat. When hunters aren't eating the meat, they usually take it to a butcher who then donates it. The basic cost is either donated by the hunter, the butcher, or is paid by the food bank. The reason why food banks want money is they pay for the expenses so the food isn't wasted in the field. More people need to know about this! Farmers also need field hands to help get the food to food banks. Donate when you can!
This is why it's so important to get away from mono-culture switch to rotating crops (meat included) and start farming to feed our country first so the infrastructure is set for this... the global market is a pandemic away from us starving, imagine that!!
The question is how long is it going to take to divert imports of pork from Europe to pork from Russia: how long does it take to terminate a meat deal? Same question applies to corn from the USA, and pretty much every import of China.
I guess for exports, lab grown meat makes more sense as it is more resilient to cancellations, it's just that the tech is not yet up to speed, now for the unbought meat, it can be just donated, prisons/hospitals/homeless/military can take some of it especially if it is processed into storable forms like jerkies.
But then they are not getting as much money per pound, even though they move more product. or so the salesmen in charge will tell you. Its the same for any other business including farms. they want to charge top prices for what would be considered common products.
Meat or EV or anything else. Maybe we can discuss what happens to the manufacturers when the American Government suddenly imposes a 100% tariff or 100% sanction against another country's product? The action is just as unpredictable and disruptive, if not more.
My 70 y.o grandparents run a huge farm, its really not as difficult as you are making out... Ye they consume alot but you just have troughs and dump hay bails around the farn when the grass is abit low, but usually just rotate them on fields. The only thing that takes time is health checks. -.-
China stopped taking Australia's lobsters and prawns a couple of years ago due to being upset politically about something ..so we had cheap lobsters and prawns in Australia that Xmas ...did the same to our wineries and other.

Well well well that tells me a lot of why our beef prices are so high in the U.S. and Europe. I have a hog pen and three acres of land I guess I better buy me a piglet to raise and fence in my acres to have a milk cow and bull. Raise a calf to eat. Maybe!!!!!!🤔
Sum it up, dealing with US of A and it close alliances is threat of national security. China is beginning to awake diversify every imports. Therefore, no serious worry of supply & demand in the future.

Schofield Scott Morrison jump on the anti-China band wagon with Trump, in order to stop China’s imports and investment, especially Huawei’s high tech produces in the name national security. He though that China would not dare to retaliate !
It was not a trade dispute. The Chinese just wanted to "punish" Australia for telling the truth about China and Covid.
Australia wanted to know where covid originated in order to try to prevent another pandemic in the future. China had a guilt complex as covid started in China and punished Australia for having said that covid stared in China. They also stopped buying coal - until they were desperate for supply.
Shortly after the pandemic, I saw a few videos where they buried huge quantities of slaughtered animals. They used large backhoes to dig gigantic holes, thousands of cattle and pigs were literally wasted. Then the prices went up due to "shortages." What a wonderful world we live-in, lol.
AND DOGS - THEY LOVE DOG MEAT!

That how you make business. Same as bakery that throw out leftover food instead giving it free to people.
Because once giving for free, customer wont buy it and waiting to wait giving leftover
I know the video you are talking about and this has been debunked, the cows were sick and diseased, they were killed as such, you cannot eat diseased meat as its a enormous health violation, even in the poorest of african countries diseased cows are slaughtered since the meat is sometimes more deadly than starvation itself
@@lindanorris2455Sorry wrong, that's Koreans, not Chinese. The COO of a casino I used to work for in Las Vegas, his gf was Korean and once her and I were waiting for him to finish a meeting and I was telling her one of my dogs was in the hospital with an unknown blood disease (she made it a week only before she was so bad and there was nothing left that I had to call from LV and have her put down) and this lady relayed the story of a puppy the got when she was a young girl and the one afternoon she came and couldn't find her dog (she was 16 then) and when she inquired of her mother, she just looked sad and said you better see your father. She ran out to the garden and he was barbecuing and it clicked. He was oozing her dog for dinner, whi h was not an abnormal thing to do, but living in the States for a number of years, she did not imagine this would happen. She said she couldn't eat dinner and hated her father from that day on. I grew up on a beef cattle ranch, we didn't own, but us kids would help work the cows, irrigation, assist the owner with rough birthing, deporting, and castration, in trade for the rent of a house a small bit of land for our horses, and we always had lots of dogs and cats which strays people would drop off. So I had never heard of people eating dogs, but she said it was common back in Korea. But man, kinda shook up my day.
As far as China and meat buying, they buy more pork than beef and they are trying raise more and more domestically to diversify sources. Lastly, they have decided to buy more and more from China-friendly countries, such as those who are members of or are trying to gain membership in BRICS+. This of course gains them a couple benefits, probably more, but first they are likely to get a good price deal (quality is moot, since China will not buy if quality is not to their liking) and second, the won't any commodities markets to add costs and take profits away from producers. The U.S. has a delusional thinking which says they will buy less stuff from Chine but China will buy stuff from us which we want them to. The world economy is slowing down and therefore therefore China producing more ďomestically and buying from friendly country, which the U.S. is not. So why should China buy meat from the U.S.?
I worked in a warehouse that shipped frozen port to China. We would hand load 20-60 lb boxes of various cuts into a 40' shipping container. Some of the rows we had to heave the boxes above our heads. 1000-1200 boxes per container, depending on the box weight. Took a couple of hours per container for a 5-6man crew. Each box had to have a specific government export label. If we put just one box with the label not showing, they took a picture, tossed all of the unloaded boxes back in and shipped it back, at our expense. After a couple of returned containers our bosses got very up tight about it.

It would have caused the price of meat to dive if their was this sudden free supply of meat, it would flood the market with free meat and this would have affected the price, downward pressure.
The system we live in encourages scarcity. who cares if people are starving, we gotta make some money here. We live in a cruel and absurd system.
Here in Australia our meat prices go down when some country stops importing from us. Export markets are bad news for the home market consumer.
Like when china banned imports of lobsters from AU. (Still too expensive for me)
That's your perception. Actually has lot to do with supply& demand, the temporary price stagnation will eventually have the breeders reduce their stocks or fold. When that happens, longer term on supply issue.
@@koneos6580 Stopping importing happens to equate to lower demand.
You should know that exports bring money into country. That means a bigger gross domestic product, that means more money for hospitals, investments in infrastructure and so on. It is more than desirable that exports numbers to be bigger that import numbers.
@@gabrieldee345don5 That is a wonderful theory. I believe in an Australia first policy. Let us export our excesses and serve Australians first.
Meat prices might lower due to low demand and high supply. Which in turn would be better for us consumers.

@@apathyguy8338 Oregon for one shuts down small farms. You have to spend most of your money on the dispatching and processing of your animals. If you want to do it your self youre spending 250k on a facility. You lose money on farming. You already need a barn and land. You cant inherit a farm because the taxes are too much for a farmers kid to pay to keep the farm. Its all designed so the billionaires can buy your land and add it to their portfolio. The fda and usda are in the pockets of the megas like tyson and smithfield. They dont want an individual to be able to start a farm. They want every individual to be their employee.

@@apathyguy8338 Regulatory authorities have regulations to ensure quality assurance. So you don't get supplied with diseased etc meat. Unit cost can be higher for small producers to comply.

They also feature higher per unit for animal welfare abuse., stray animals & pets etc.
There should be no waste! Meat could be processed into anything from jerky, canned meats, pet food, and certainly provided to food banks!
Sausages and other preserved meats can last months on shelves, or YEARS in freezers. I always freeze meat in my chest freezer, which stays at 0F. When properly wrapped, it lasts for up to 5 years before becoming tough. Still edible, but needs slow-cooking to tenderize at that point. Not a problem for larger cuts used for stewing (stew recipes for game meat like venison work perfectly).

@@FrankiePo89 Lets see what chinese people think when the price of pork goes up a lot and all the poor chinese start to starve like they did under Mao.
Australia does not have an overproduction of meat. As a sheep farmer livestock levels are determined by supply and demand. When stocks are in short supply the prices go up and when the supply is abundant prices go down and less livestock is bred.
This is where countries should have self serving first then export that way we only supply excess meat products.
Can't meat everyone's meat standard the same. Different countries meats have different meat standards and meat labels.
Government subsidies also limit supplies by paying farmers not to grow or raise specific crops and live stock, so the consumer still gets played like a fiddle.
a communist country being self serving, thats a new one
Same for imports. Use up our own first, then import.
Australia used to have cheap and plentiful seafood until they developed a large export market. Now it's very expensive.
I like how sellers have this mentality that all consumers should bow to them and somehow they are the victim when the consumers no longer want to play their game.

I used to work where we processed beef for export, they always got our best meat, we got left with seconds. So really when you think of it we don't really have enough cattle, especially considering the floods and droughts we've had in the last decade. We were running short but they still shipped more overseas.
The video is about what if the people who usually eat them suddenly do not eat them anymore.
Also the US has had decreasing cattle population for over 50 years. The US farmer is getting older and much fewer in number. Most US beef IS raised on family farms. Due to the time cycle of raising cattle and the amount of land and feed required is too great for even industry to handle. During covid feeders and fats feel like a rock price wise BUT kill cows and slaughter bulls sky rocketed due to more folks cooking at home and eating more burger.
Very glad I live in a rural farming community. The local meat markets butcher and sell locally grown beef, pork and chicken. Granddaughter raises chickens, so get fresh eggs, have gardens so fresh produce, have an Amish community nearby.
Never thought people would be smuggling pork chops
Smuggling hooves, snouts etc.
You don’t cover supply and demand in this video. If there is less demand coming from China the price will drop so they can sell their product. If there is a reduction in prices other countries who can’t afford to buy as much meat will be able to buy because of this reduction, and the countries who already consume meat will buy more meat because the reduction in price. I’m not saying there won’t be difficulties but that’s the thing about capitalism supply and demand.
#1, You don’t understand supply and demand, in short term yes, price drop with less demand, but in long run, market will adjust as supply will not stay the same level. meat farms will produce less meat and chase other profitable products.
#2, you don’t understand capitalism. European trucks dump milk on the floor than selling it cheap/discount. Capitalists will do a lot worse to protect their profits.
Bit too much gloom and negativity.
Also I never noticed meat disappearing from Australian supermarkets and as for the coal, very quickly China started reimporting coal due to the fact they realised they needed it.
If other countries can't afford the price of meat in the first place why would you need the price to come down if the producer is not your own government. Capitalism don't care about the poor people. That's the reality.

China is the world's largest producer of meat, producing over 253,024,735 tons in 2023. In 2023, China produced approximately 92.27 million tons of beef, up 3.8% from the previous year. Also China is the world's largest producer of many crops and the world's largest producer of seafood, accounting for about one-third of the global total. Food is one of few things China can buy from US I don't think China really need US. They can get beef, corns and grain from Brazil and Russia. It is more a strategic move to diversify the supply chain, bargaining chips and values. China only has 10% of world's arable land. So it would prefer to use the land for more high value food.
Welp I won't go as far as asserting "China doesn't need US", since with all the tariffs in place US is still a key trading partner, be it agricultural produce like soy or on the ip (intellectual property) side of things
And yet China is the biggest importer of food products.

What most people don't seem to realize is that cattle in Brazil is normally produced in large properties on open areas solely with grazing. Since Brazil has a tropical weather and usually gets plenty of sunlight and rain, cattle usually does not have to be confined and usually does not require special treatment during the winter months. These are the main reasons Brazil is so competitive in this market.
When it comes to pork, pigs require pig feed. That usually boils down to 3 ingredients: corn, soy beans and cotton. Brazil is among the top 3 producers of all 3. And while most countries produce 1 harvest per year, Brazil harvests corn 2x per year. Poultry and Pigs are industries very much dependent of the price of feed which in turn is very much dependent on favorable weather conditions. So cyclical crisis happen on these industries when there is a mismatch between the price of the meat in the global market and the price / availability of the feed in the local market.
Brazil sells about 90% of what it produces to China. OBVIOUSLY, that is a reason for concern.

Here in the Netherlands, politics has gone crazy due to the EU's climate plans. Farms must emit less CO2, so fewer animals or stop, now that plan is not working well due to protests from citizens and farmers, they have decided that they should use less animal manure to fertilize agricultural land, because this is bad for water quality according to the EU. These manure surpluses are a means of forcing farmers to have fewer livestock because the disposal of manure is very expensive.

Not only farmers are affected by this, but also many suppliers and transporters. Not to forget the many young farmers who cannot now take over the family business because it is no longer allowed or is no longer profitable. EU regulations have gone way too far with their CO2 targets, especially for such a small country as the Netherlands. Calculations show that even if all farmers were to stop, CO2 emissions in the Netherlands would only decrease by 0.03%, so it's completely bullshit.

This is skewed because it neglects to account for the amount of imports that turn around and become exports after different types of processing. Which accounts for a sizable amount of china's imports. As long as it has companies that use imports for these purposes they will continue to import so while the numbers may drop some due to consumer consumption or due to animal illness or tainted meat I do not see it ending anytime soon unless the rest of the world that imports these goods from China stops doing so.

It was clearly politically motivated, and China replued in kind.
@@shanerooney7288Ok Wumao.

Big brother deflect from Fort D
Did scott morrison questioned the possibility of COVID coming from Fort Detrick in USA? Maybe he asked the question with some made up answers already in mind?
jokes on you, my country is an importer of meat as well. sometimes we also import live cows from Australia
What Happens When China Stops Buying Meat From Your Country? Well, to illustrate, it's simple: the US is the largest exporter of corn in the world, with a large part of the production going to China and Mexico. After many sanctions and attempts by the US government against the Chinese economy, China decided to stop importing corn from the US and to embargo this item. They invested heavily and made Brazil (which was not even among the 10 largest corn producers) become the third-largest producer and the second-largest exporter. Those who produce more corn, oats, and soybeans also produce more feed and therefore more meat, making Brazil the largest meat exporter in the world. To preserve its culture, Mexico passed a law banning the import of transgenic corn. The US lost its two largest markets in a short period. There are no other major buyers, affecting the entire corn production chain in the American Midwest, as well as countless jobs and cities. If the corn that is produced every year in the USA was like this (in Brazil, there are 2 corn harvests per year), imagine meat, which needs many other resources to be produced and especially time, after all, from a calf to a cattle ready for slaughter takes a long time and that is why meat has a high added value.
Make biofuel with corn to limit the disaster ?
@@G_de_Coligny they already do it and guess what: most countries are not able to use it. Part of the biofuel from the US goes straight to Brazil as cars here (most) are biofuels, different from the US where most cars are gas only. But it is still not enough....

Remember when China stop Australia's lobsters, suddenly Australians have an influx of Lobsters on their menu.
Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and NZ are the suppliers for China. American, Canadian, Australia & EU Cows talks too much and have Xenophobia fever! 😂

When China stops buying meat from your country, the agricultural economy could suffer serious damage. Farmers and workers were hit hard, markets were in turmoil, and development opportunities were threatened. This is a big shock for the agricultural industry.
It’s such a shame that factory farmers will lose out it’s almost as if their business practice is immoral and poor for animals, people and the environment.
Remove the slurping coffee.
No such thing as smuggling from hong kong to China, especially when hong kong isnt a British colony anymore. But hong kong is a part of China.
Imagine if we just stopped shipping to China period.
Who is we ?
@qwittaice7672 the rest of the world meat producers.
Your economy would collapse
You meant all the white asr in ‘we’
That would result in a lot of unemployed bankrupt US farmers. Russia is just opening up 30 million hectares of agricultural land. Believe it or not,they will buy their grain from there,and not some GMO sheet. Already reduced purchasing 500k tonnes of US agricultural products. That hurts.
Maybe it's time for us to think about what we can do for our country... Does that ring a bell?
Fresh meat
I just want to be able to get my Big Mac.
Mortgage your house
Why Big Macs ain’t made with beef. It’s made with a hodgepodge of meat (pink meat) with very little beef and is extruded through a machine.
@@sunayakong8537 i thought pink meat was only for chikin nuggets !?
That’s not beef
If only countries made what they needed and used that instead of outsourcing labour. If only everyone in power weren't corrupt. If only you all actually held people accountable for screwing things up.
If only the worlds population was about 1/10th of current, and inequalities & divisiveness not so prevalent.
Another day, another WATOP Video!
Hmmmm. What I’m hearing is that, if we turn off the supply of meat, we can cause hunger in the camp of our enemy.
China messed around with Australia and then lost their major supplier of coal. No coal from Australia meant no coal for power plants, ie not electric power generation. Hunger would work too.
China's own coal reserves are enough for China to use for at least 500 years.
However, when Russia is willing to reduce the CIF price to be lower than that of China's own coal, China doesn't mind buying some.
After all, China has the largest trade surplus in the world, so it is not appropriate not to buy anything.
@@amandagrant4331 Well THAT explains why China go so upset when Australia cut off sales of coal to China. Given that what you’re saying is all accurate, why did power plants that depended on foreign coal shut down as a result of being cut off from supply?
@@frankedgar6694
No power plants in China have been shut down due to lack of coal.
In fact, as the largest exporter in the world, almost all products exported by China are produced by electricity.
@@amandagrant4331 Now I’m wondering why we started bracing for war a year or so ago. China was doing quite a lot of saber rattling. I bet they were lying about shutting down their plants. I bet they are just liars, huh.
They did this to Australian dairy industry. Closed the multi million dollar arrangement overnight in around 2011. Industry has never recovered.
They better have a lot of freezer space 😅
Food banks will happily take donated foods from farmers like meat, & potatoes. They also take game meat. When hunters aren't eating the meat, they usually take it to a butcher who then donates it. The basic cost is either donated by the hunter, the butcher, or is paid by the food bank. The reason why food banks want money is they pay for the expenses so the food isn't wasted in the field. More people need to know about this! Farmers also need field hands to help get the food to food banks. Donate when you can!
This is why it's so important to get away from mono-culture switch to rotating crops (meat included) and start farming to feed our country first so the infrastructure is set for this... the global market is a pandemic away from us starving, imagine that!!
The question is how long is it going to take to divert imports of pork from Europe to pork from Russia: how long does it take to terminate a meat deal? Same question applies to corn from the USA, and pretty much every import of China.
The piggies look unhappy & they need access to sky, grass, and much more space.

Maybe I'm your 3 millionth subscriber and won a lot of money?
I guess for exports, lab grown meat makes more sense as it is more resilient to cancellations, it's just that the tech is not yet up to speed, now for the unbought meat, it can be just donated, prisons/hospitals/homeless/military can take some of it especially if it is processed into storable forms like jerkies.
Lower the prices where the meat comes from, so that the local area can pick up the extras. DUH!
But then they are not getting as much money per pound, even though they move more product. or so the salesmen in charge will tell you.
Its the same for any other business including farms. they want to charge top prices for what would be considered common products.
Meat or EV or anything else. Maybe we can discuss what happens to the manufacturers when the American Government suddenly imposes a 100% tariff or 100% sanction against another country's product? The action is just as unpredictable and disruptive, if not more.
Does the price go down? No, it just goes to waste!
How much water does a single bull require? 700 billion gallons? Seems suspect. Please source.
My 70 y.o grandparents run a huge farm, its really not as difficult as you are making out... Ye they consume alot but you just have troughs and dump hay bails around the farn when the grass is abit low, but usually just rotate them on fields. The only thing that takes time is health checks. -.-
Stocking up on MRE’s. The future is uncertain.
Yeah, simple distribute in US bring price down.
China stopped taking Australia's lobsters and prawns a couple of years ago due to being upset politically about something ..so we had cheap lobsters and prawns in Australia that Xmas ...did the same to our wineries and other. Businesses they were really affected ..but Australian consumers benefitted from it as there was an over supply in some areas ..😊
Well well well that tells me a lot of why our beef prices are so high in the U.S. and Europe. I have a hog pen and three acres of land I guess I better buy me a piglet to raise and fence in my acres to have a milk cow and bull. Raise a calf to eat. Maybe!!!!!!🤔
BRAVO NICE AMEN
Sum it up, dealing with US of A and it close alliances is threat of national security. China is beginning to awake diversify every imports. Therefore, no serious worry of supply & demand in the future.
