據(jù)報(bào)道，澳大利亞活牛供應(yīng)量從2012-13年度的2930萬頭降至2620萬頭。MLA季度更新的報(bào)告顯示，預(yù)計(jì)屠宰量降至不到12萬頭，預(yù)計(jì)明年數(shù)量也不會(huì)有所改觀。昆士蘭西部和新州的畜群量在過去三年中減少了最多達(dá)40%，今年牛肉出口量預(yù)計(jì)比去年少24%。

 

    部分原文報(bào)道如下：

 

    To study cattle prices is a lesson in supply and demand, with the tightest supplies in 20 years keeping prices at record highs.

 

    Meat and Livestock Australia figures for the quarter show cattle slaughter rates falling to below 120,000 head for the first time since 2006, and to remain there for most of 2017.
