Trump's trade war with China might accidentally crush the US beef and pork industries.

Industry News - AM
China tariffs halt U.S. red meat trade, risking billions: USMEF

By Chris Moore on 4/28/2025

Retaliatory tariffs from China have effectively halted U.S. beef and pork exports, according to the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF).

USMEF Vice President of Economic Analysis Erin Borror said China’s effective duty rate on U.S. pork and pork variety meats has reached 172%, while U.S. beef and beef variety meats are facing a 147% tariff. She warned that losing access to China puts more than $150 per fed steer or heifer at risk and could cost the pork industry about $8 to $10 per head in export value.

"There's a mad scramble to find new homes for products specifically produced and labeled for China," Borror said. "Without China's demand, we’re looking at industry losses of about $4 billion annually for beef and $1 billion for pork."

Borror added that China is a unique market, purchasing specific beef and pork items at premiums other buyers are unwilling to match. Products like short plate, rib fingers, pork feet and intestines are particularly difficult to reroute to other destinations.

Adding to the challenge, China has failed to renew export registrations for about 400 U.S. beef facilities and nine pork plants, further restricting shipments. Borror emphasized that even if tariffs are lifted, the lack of renewed facility approvals would continue to block most U.S. red meat exports to China.

Vegans smell better.

A study summary states that fresh odour samples were evaluated for pleasantness, attractiveness, masculinity, and intensity by 30 women not using hormonal contraceptives. The same procedure was repeated a month later, with the donors on opposite diets. Results showed that odours from a non-meat diet were rated as significantly more attractive, pleasant, and less intense than those from a meat-based diet, suggesting red meat consumption negatively impacts perceived body odour.

"The small, everyday deeds of ordinary folk keep the darkness at bay..." Listen to @jasminsinger.com and @marisul.bsky.social discuss this powerful Tolkien quote and what it means for animal activism in 2025. A hopeful moment from this week's episode.  ourhenhouse.org/ep782

In 2007, David Graeber wrote "On the Phenomenology of Giant Puppets" about the Global Justice movement and the protests against the policies of the IMF, WTO & World Bank. This quote comes from that piece!

"Direct action is a form of resistance
that, in its structure, is meant to
prefigure the genuinely free society
one wishes to create. Revolutionary
action is not a form of self-sacrifice,
a grim dedication to doing whatever
it takes to achieve a future world of
freedom. It is the defiant insistence
on acting as if one is already free."
.
- David Graeber
