Where can you read a concise and compact review of events that have affected red meat industries around the world and find out how forecasts for production and demand abroad have been affected?
The answer is the International Meat Market Review which has been updated to reflect the first half of 2008.
It is published by the Economics team at AHDB meat services and provides a comprehensive review of events in the major European and world meat-producing countries, as well as census and trade summaries, and illustrations of domestic price trends.
This invaluable insight also includes overall world and European situation reviews. Compiled by Economics' team of analysts who constantly monitor events abroad, the result is a source of information that no one who is involved in the red meat sector can afford to be without.
Economics Manager Joanne Knowles said, "The global increase in grain price is having a massive impact on meat production around the world, with many producers exiting the industry and others scaling down production.
"It's one of many factors we have taken into account when writing the June edition of International Meat Market Review, which will help everyone in the industry keep up to date with how the sector is performing internationally."
The International Meat Market Review is a biannual country-by-country overview of trends in production, trade and prices in the main EU meat-producing countries and principal world markets.
It is an essential tool for those who trade across borders and who want complete information on competitor markets. Annual subscriptions start at £79 - for further details and to subscribe, contact Jayne Dines on +44 (0) 1908 844396.
