Please find links to USDA’s most recent 2013 outlook on Livestock and Poultry: World Markets and Trade (complements of Claire Mezoughem: USDA). Also the production, supply, demand database is quite helpful for reviewing trends in livestock production, consumption and trade. Interesting that the downward revision in 2013 from previous estimate was to Indian beef exports; however, even with the revised export figures of 1.7 million, India STILL REMAINS THE LARGEST BEEF EXPORTER IN THE WORLD, trailed only by Brazil at 1. 6 million, Australia at 1.5 and the US (recovered from BSE) at 1.1 million tons. Wow.
