                                                             Friday Mar 27, 2026
US/NZ-AUS-South America Beef Imports
Report for: 03/27/2026
  
Compared to last market test:
Import prices were mostly moderately lower, instances firm for immediate 
delivery.
Trading was slow.
The South American trade was moderate to active.
The price difference and availability of South American imported meat has 
caused some users that normally only use Australia/New Zealand product to 
substitute it on a limited basis.
