Exports of bone-in beef, offal and tripe continue to have China as their leading destination by a wide margin.
This explains why the Asian country overwhelmingly dominates total foreign exchange earnings from all beef products.
In all three categories, volumes shipped to China declined year-on-year due to lower production this year. Frozen bone-in beef exports dropped 18% year-on-year, offal exports fell 20%, and tripe and stomach exports declined 13% annually.
