中国はドナルド・トランプ米大統領の訪中および習近平国家主席との会談に合わせ、数百の米国産牛肉加工施設の輸入許可を更新した。ブラジルの対中牛肉輸出は年間割当枠に迫っており、代替市場の模索を急いでいる。
ブルームバーグが木曜日に報じたところによると、今回のライセンス更新は、トランプ大統領の北京訪問と習近平主席との会談の最中に行われた。
中国は昨年12月、2026年における国別の牛肉輸入割当枠を超過した場合、関税を通常の12％から55％に引き上げると発表していた。
今回の措置は米国側のサプライヤーに恩恵をもたらす一方、割当枠の上限に近づいているブラジルの生産者に圧力をかけるものとなる。ブラジル政府は損失を補うため、ベトナムや韓国といった市場の開拓を検討している。
