Firm closures with Israel

Over the past two weeks, several kosher contracts were finalized with Argentina and Uruguay. Import sources reported prices for good-quality kosher forequarters from British crossbred steers in the US$/t 9,800–10,200 FOB range, while crossbreeds were quoted between US$/t 9,400–9,700. “Prices are hitting the limit of what’s negotiable,” a source said.
