Beef prices in South Korea have surged, with US beef increasing by over 30%, due to reduced supply in the US and a weakened Korean won. As a result, Australian beef and local and imported pork prices are also rising. The shortage in US beef supply is driven by climate issues and rising production costs, causing a shift in consumer preference towards alternatives like Australian beef and pork. Meanwhile, prices for Korean Hanwoo beef remain relatively stable. This shift and increase reflect broader economic and environmental challenges influencing global beef markets.
