Every market is a good thing as it gives options. Any details on what it's for? Will they buy expensive cuts?

very fussy over food, choice cuts, superbly cooked, but to bloody small (for us).

Well isn’t that a good thing ?
should help but not massively, they are looking for meat while they struggle with swine fever in their pig herd. Buying beef from south america, Australia and new Zealand, these countries beef prices are still lower than ours. They also have a 47% tariff imposed on us exports which is keeping the usa out of their market for the moment.

Bloody good for nothing levy boards - Opening China for beef and opening India for lamb.... huffle puffle huffle puffle
I think you will find that meat company sales reps travel the world for new customers. The levy board are outdated, unless the price is right China will not buy an ounce of meat from us levy board or not.
Other industries do perfectly well with export trade without having levy boards just shows how backwards farming is in this modern world where customers can be found via the net.

No pleasing you fellas eh, incredible.
That's irrelevant if they buy from markets or not,it is more beef off the domestic market

In Ireland China clearance is only for under 30 month animals and animals coming from a herd that is free from TB for 6 months or more. Herds that are eligible to purchase in store animals from tb positive herds aren’t allowed either. The Irish dept of ag call them feedlot herds. It’d be the herds that can purchase from (correct me if I’m wrong) red marts in the uk.
Having said all that it is seemingly a very good market for certain cuts and can only be a good thing

In Ireland Foyle donegal pay 10c premium for china approved cattle.
Believe have to come from tb free herds . That have been free for 12 months.
If you look at irish farmers journal they give top price for steers every week.
So should be good thing for beef trade going forward.

Well there must be something to be made from it cos the Southern Irish factories are all trying to get Chinese approval, the quantities they take are increasing steadily, i would think they will take a fair amount of 5th quarter stuff too, I know they are taking all the bits of a pig we don't eat,right down to the arse holes.
