Leveraged Checkoff Dollars $6.3 Million Beef Checkoff Investment Buys … $15.5 Million In Beef Foreign Marketing Based on FY’06 Estimates
Current JIMC Priorities • Regain lost ground • Develop comprehensive trade strategy to prioritize markets • Enhance product/carcass value • Leverage competitive advantages: corn-fed, sell selected cuts in large quantities, variety meat availability • Provide trade information
Middle East • Exports to ME likely > 85,000 mt in ‘06 • Why? • Egypt: • Regained access 3/05; 28,868 mt sold in ’05 • MAP-funded shelf-life study during ’05; data presented at end ’05 • Egypt changes regs in spring ‘06 U.S. Beef & BVM Exports (1,000 mt)
Japan • ‘We Care’ builds consumer confidence • Research-based message • Built on 30 years of in-country experience • Consumer receptivity not the problem that some expected • Supply inadequate to meet demand • Moving from 20 moa standard remains domestic issue
Mexico • USMEF has 15-year presence • No. 1 U.S. beef destination • 339,035 mt YTD exceeds ’03 total • $1 billion YTD is 122% of ’03 value • First country to re-open after BSE • First to allow bone-in product
Being A ‘Good Neighbor’ • In sector: • Butcher certification • ‘Mystery Shopper’ • Chef competition • In-store training/demonstrations • Consumer-directed: • Mother’s Day • Diabetes foundation • Youth programs on obesity/nutrition
Collaborative Effort • How will it benefit U.S. industry? • Improved access? Fewer challenges? • Sales growth short-/long-term? • Higher volume? Higher price? • Additional benefits to local industry? • Total demand growth? • Improved product skills? • Improved product image?
Collaboration In Mexico • Build public receptivity to U.S. beef • Offset negative image portrayed to public by Mexican industry • Improve business atmosphere • Bottom Line: Reduce cross-border tensions to lessen likelihood of antidumping or other trade restrictions
