By Sally RaeWhile re-entry of United States beef into China could ''put the squeeze'' on New Zealand beef exports, it may also lead to some opportunities, an American expert says. As incomes increased, so did the demand for beef as people bought beef instead of less expensive protein, Prof Bailey said. There was also another opportunity in US grass-fed beef with demand for that product having ''really taken off''. Grass-fed beef was a market segment growing as per-capita beef consumption declined. But country of origin labelling could present a hurdle for New Zealand grass-fed beef, Prof Bailey said.
