US Beef Exports to China fall 95%

U.S. beef sales to China have taken a dive, U.S. government data showed on Thursday, after Beijing allowed the expiration of registrations that had permitted exports from hundreds of American meat facilities.

US Beef exports to China fell from 2,000 metric tons to 54 metric tons in just a few weeks. China has moved on to buying from Australia. Expect more US Farm Bankruptcies.

The biggest beef-producing states in the U.S. are Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri, with Texas leading by a significant margin, having over 4 million beef cows. Other notable states include Nebraska, South Dakota, and Kansas, each contributing substantially to the nation's beef production.
Targeting the MAGAt states with surgical precision. Now THAT is how you do tariffs. Unless your goal was to crash the entire US stock market to reap billions by shorting it.

I'll be sure to pick up some steaks on discount. The MAGAt tears will add to the flavor.

All those ranchers must be so pleased that they're getting exactly what they voted for.

Turns out beef is made out of Kryptonite.

Isn't that right, Republicans?

Expect ketchup exports to dry up too.

To any MAGA willing to listen (none): We told you so.

Trump is bankrupting you to make it easier to tyrannize you.

This is going to cause an IMMEDIATE economic recession in my 20.000 square miles of Texas....

Of which 80% voted Trump.

This is NOT what they voted for.

No, they voted for kittens and unicorns.

Now they'll not only not get those, but no income or reduced income.

I guess all these MAGA had plans for their futures.

I guess all of them are watching Trump piss it all away.

Its not the ranchers making the profits, its the meat packers taking advantage of illegal immigrants their the ones losing money.

What's your point?

That there's enough poverty to go around for everyone?

Well, you're absolutely right.

Hope to see you at the head of the breadline, in which case I will kick your ass.

Just remember, when you are getting frustrated and can no longer pay the bills ...

Is there anything Trump does that our favorite "Bernie Bro" does not approve of?

No hate. Those Russian troll kopeks don't earn themselves.

Want to bet instead of lower beef prices for the people, they start destroying herds because the "price" ain't right.

#14 | Posted by fresno500 at 2025-04-15 05:33 PM

Any bets that beef supply goes up but prices barely drop?

And that MAGA refuses to acknowledge this because their default programming is to not never ever criticize the "markets"?
