Indonesia to halve Aussie beef exports Friday, December 16, 2011 ยป 07:10am
Indonesia is moving towards a self-sufficient beef industry and next year will almost halve the number of Australian cows being brought into the country. Indonesian Agriculture Minister Suswono has told the ABC that Indonesia is moving towards having a self-sufficient beef industry. He confirmed that next year it will only allow about 280,000 Australian cows to be brought into the country, down from 520,000 permits in 2011. Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig said this policy had been in place since 2010 and Australia could be involved in the Indonesian beef market if it bred cows in Indonesia. Australian Live Exporters Council CEO Lach McKinnon said that any cut to Australian imports will be a blow for northern Australia's cattle industry. 'It'll put us under a lot of pressure and we'll have to work very hard to get through this,' Mr McKinnon told the ABC. 'It's like any of these particular trade issues - it's about government to government and working through what it is both parties want to get.' http://bigpondnews.com/articles/Nationa ... 97144.html [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Post message: prole...@egroups.com Subscribe : proletar-subscr...@egroups.com Unsubscribe : proletar-unsubscr...@egroups.com List owner : proletar-ow...@egroups.com Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/Yahoo!
