Competitiveness of beef production in the USA, Canada and the EU
Project
Project code: TI-BW-08-123, TI-BW-08-PID1515
Contract period: 01.12.2012
- 31.12.2013
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
The USA and Canada are major beef producers and exporters. Given the beef price differential to the EU, both countries have an interest to export beef to the EU. Tariff trade barriers as well as Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) trade restrictions prevent the imports of North American beef to the EU. The SPS mainly refer to the use of growth hormones and beta-agonists in the U.S. and Canadian beef production. Against the background of the negotiations about a free trade agremment between the U.S., Canada and the EU, the project analyses the status quo, drivers and development of beef production and trade. In a second step, it looks at the potential of production and trade based on expert-assessments.
