Australia announced a reduction in restrictions on U.S. beef imports, considered a victory against non-scientific trade barriers. Agriculture Minister Julie Collins assured that the change would not compromise biosecurity, expressing support for open trade. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins congratulated the administration on a significant breakthrough for American beef producers. The U.S. has implemented movement controls to ensure biosecurity regarding cattle from Mexico and Canada. Australian authorities expressed satisfaction with U.S. measures to manage biosecurity risks, allowing for increased beef importation from the U.S.
Australian authorities were satisfied the strengthened control measures put in place by the U.S. effectively manage biosecurity risks, Collins said.
American farmers and ranchers produce the safest, healthiest beef in the world. It's absurd that non-scientific trade barriers prevented our beef from being sold to consumers in Australia for the last 20 years, Rollins said.
