Australian beef exports totaled 1.1 million tonnes in 2018

The increase in exports was driven by Japan (+24,000 tonnes), South Korea (+22,000 tonnes) and China (+53,000 tonnes).

Australian beef exports to China witnessed record levels in 2018, shipments reaching 163,000 tonnes, accounting for over 14% of Australia’s total beef exports.

The growth in exports was also sustained by the increase in shipments to a number of countries in South-East Asia. Collectively, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam increased shipments by 19% (+17,000 tonnes) and totalled 105,000 tonnes in 2018.

MLA said shipments to Asian countries increased by 111,000 tones in 2018 compared to a year ago. In January, shipments to these countries increased by 11% compared to January 2017. MLA warns that lower domestiv production could limit exportable products going forward.
