China extends beef import investigation until November, impacting global exporters.

China has extended its investigation into imported beef by three months until November 26, 2025. The probe, initiated in December 2024, does not target any specific country but aims to assess the impact on China's domestic beef industry. The extension allows Beijing to gather more data and maintain communication with major exporters like the US, Argentina, Australia, and Brazil. Imports in the first half of 2025 dropped by 9.5% compared to the same period in 2024.
