Russia looks to Asia after restricting Australian beef

02/04/2014
Russia is to look to Asia to supply more beef, after announcing that it will begin restricting imports of Australian beef due to the presence of the stimulant Trenbolone.

Limits on chilled beef from Australia were imposed on March 31, while frozen beef imports will be restricted from April 7 and it is not clear how long they will last.

Australia is the world's third-largest beef exporter after the US and Brazil.

Russia does not accept the majority of meat imports from the US and the European Union, which have imposed sanctions on Russia over its annexation of Crimea.
