Americans are purchasing more lower-priced ground beef and less of the much more expensive middle meats. Processors are producing more ground beef to satisfy the growing needs of budget-conscious consumers and families and this trend is unlikely to change. With imports currently making up 15% of the ground beef market in the US, any long term increase in demand is good news for NZ beef exports to the US.
