Welcome to this week's newsletter
Editorial: Focus On Sustainability And Safety At Meat Exhibition The China International Meat Industry Exhibition opened in Beijing this week. In the opening seminar, president of the International Meat Secretariat, Paddy Moore said that meat consumption is expected to grow by 40 per cent by 2025, with markets emerging in Asian and South America. He said that this growth is driven by changing diet patterns, rising standards of living, urbanisation and population growth. Speaking at the summit, representatives of the Chinese government confirmed their commitment to backing the sustainable and hygienic production of meat and food products. Following on from this, the China Meat Association has set up a new organisation to oversee food safety issues in the meat industry. The committee will work with government organisations, agencies and meat industry experts to overcome food safety issues that have been affecting the meat industry. In the US, the Food and Drug Administration has announced that it is considering limits on growth-promoting drugs. Charlotte Johnston
We have 3 new features this week: Economic Aspect of Agriculture In 2010 And Beyond The economic aspect of agriculture for 2010 shows more stability compared to the economic outlook for 2009, according to an annual joint report by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Develeopment (OECD) entitled Agricultural Outlook 2010-19. Rachel Ralte, Junior Editor of TheCattleSite, provides a brief outline of the Outlook. Cattle Production In The Netherlands The Dutch cattle industry focuses primarily on the production of milk, but also supplies high-quality meat. Part of the meat production originates from specialist cattle farms (fattening bulls, suckler cows), but most of it comes from dairy cows. US Beef and Dairy Outlook Report - June 2010 A slight rise in milk production is expected in 2010 over 2009, and the pace of beef exports may not begin to slow until late in 2010, according to according to the USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) June 2010 Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook. ![]()
