China has been importing frozen beef from abroad in Canada, Brazil, Argentina, New Zealand, Australia and other countries. The main meat in these countries is beef, and the breeding of cattle is more large-scale, so the breeding cost and price are much cheaper than those in China. Although there is a certain tariff on imports, the price is still much cheaper than domestic beef.

Harm of smuggled beef overseas In recent years, the domestic demand for beef has gradually expanded. Some criminals in China use their own resources to cooperate with overseas beef merchants to smuggle a lot of frozen beef to China. This kind of beef is very cheap, and it is not excluded that this kind of beef will be injected into the rural market for sale.

Although China has strengthened the supervision of smuggled beef this year, it is impossible to eliminate this kind of beef 100% and inject it into the rural market in different ways. However, this kind of beef has not undergone strict quarantine supervision, and the health of beef quality is difficult to guarantee. After being injected into the rural market, many people will buy it cheaply or buy it.

Some beef merchants mixed beef, which enhanced the quality of beef and reduced the cost. As the saying goes, "there is no market for price", high-quality beef is definitely the best to make fresh beef, while some ordinary beef will be made into frozen beef for sale, and some people even mix some pork with beef and sell it after freezing, which is difficult for ordinary people to tell without careful observation. There are also some beef, which is ripened with feed during the breeding process. This meat is not good enough for fresh sale. After making frozen beef, the price is very low. This kind of frozen beef may not sell well in the city, so it flows into the countryside. The previous generation of villagers used to be frugal, probably because of the low price.

The supply market of beef is still very tight. Many shopkeepers have said that the quality of beef on the market is not standardized and the consumption experience is not good, so the demand for beef has soared. Today, the national beef price remains at 38.7 yuan a catty, up 1.3% from last week, while the overseas beef price remains at 22.7 yuan a catty. Compared with the domestic beef price, there is still a certain gap. Beef is produced in many places in China, but the consumer market is basically stable, not to the point where no one trades it. In a short time, it seems that the price of beef in China has gone up, and the transaction has dropped slightly.
