Experts question why China has granted additional beef export licenses as quota restriction looms

Analysts believe there could be changes to China's beef import quota, as Beijing grants additional export licenses to Australian producers.  Dozens of licenses have been amended to allow for chilled meat exports rather than just frozen, and 8 new licences have been approved.  Earlier this year, China announced it would only allow 205 000 tonnes of Australian beef to enter the market before a 55% tariff was applied.  Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke to Global Agritrends Analyst Simon Quilty about the decision and what it could mean for producers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
