International Beef and Cattle Market Outlook August 11, 2016 Brett Stuart Perspective As a rancher Weaned calves, sold to feedyards Focus on production efficiencies Market was the market Fast forward Perspective
Perspective
- As a rancher…
- Weaned calves, sold
to feedyards
- Focus on production
efficiencies
- Market was the market
- Fast forward…
Perspective
- Tokyo 2004
- Japanese A-5 Wagyu:
US$20,000/carcass
- The “exploding
carcass”
- Maximum calf value is
highly depended on global markets
My Message Today
- The North American cattle & beef markets are
global
- The global beef markets are complex
- Recent commodity deflation was a global
phenomenon
- But, market “gravity” is UP
- Short term outlook….
- Long term outlook is very good
- N. America & Global Beef Markets
- U.S., Canada, and Mexico are among each
- ther’s largest beef and cattle trading partners
- And account for 90%+ of the world’s grain-fed
beef
- There is little differentiation in U.S./Canadian
beef overseas
– Globally, grain-fed beef is it’s own brand – With large/rising demand

Global Meat is Diverse & Complex
Global meat trade is a complicated web of politics, culture, and economics (in that order!)
– Perishability – Bio-safety – Fragmented markets – Politically sensitive – Culturally diverse
Seoul, Korea – Riots against U.S. beef, June 2008 60 million peasant farmers raise 40% of China’s pigs (half of the worlds pigs in China) 85% of U.S. chicken “paws” are eaten in China (for higher prices than leg quarters)

Global Economy
Wobbly…
- IMF has reduced 2016 forecasts, again
- Negative interest rates??
- Big economy difficulties
– EU: Debt crises remain for Italy, Portugal, others – Japan: edge of recession, 10-year GDP avg +0.6% – China economy slowing
- Developing economy difficulties:
– Brazil recession deepens – 3rd world debt crisis, U.S. dollar pressure
- Global economic growth fuels meat demand!

Global Food Demand
- +78 million people per year (global growth)
- Global middle class to rise from 2 billion to
4.9 billion by 2030
– Asia driving global food demand – But also, less-developed nations globally – New opportunities for further- processed and consumer-ready food products

TPP Is ESSENTIAL to US/CAN Beef!
The Pork Dilemma
- 1. Rising U.S. production
– Soft expansion occurring – New plants are seeking/encouraging more production
- 2. Chinese demand will stall
– Chinese expansion will occur
- But may be slowed by gov’t reg
Where will the EU, U.S., and Canadian pork go?

In Summary
- Global commodity deflation likely near a
bottom (but may stay here for a while)
- Global pork & poultry supplies are heavy
– But GLOBAL beef supplies are more stable
- Record Aussie beef/cattle, cheaper U.S. and
Canadian beef is winning in Asia
- The future looks bright
– Rising population and incomes – Rising demand for grain-fed beef globally

The Future Looks GOOD
