Australia's Beef Exports in August: Sustained Explosive Growth, with Exports to China Exceeding 20,000 Tonnes for 7 Consecutive Months

Australia's beef exports are still expected to break historical records in 2025, with shipment volumes in August continuing the recent strong momentum. According to the latest monthly data released by the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF), the total export volume of fresh and frozen beef to all destinations last month reached 135,570 tonnes, marking the second-highest record in history, only after the 150,000 tonnes recorded in the previous month.

In its half-yearly cattle industry forecast update for September released on Monday, Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) estimated that Australia's beef export volume (on a shipped weight basis) would hit 1.5 million tonnes in the 2025 calendar year. This projection is supported by Australia's continuous leverage of the global supply tightness – major competitor markets such as the United States and Brazil are facing supply constraints due to declining production and the impact of tariffs.

The basis for this forecast lies in the following: the number of cattle slaughtered this year is expected to increase by 8.6% to 9.02 million head, driven by stable live cattle supply and a slightly expanded processing capacity. As the United States has begun its herd rebuilding phase, and Brazil is confronting herd contraction after a period of large-scale slaughter and recovery from droughts – coupled with the tariff barriers it faces when exporting to the United States – Australia will have a unique advantage in meeting the growing international demand over the next one to two years.

2025年澳大利亚牛肉出口仍有望打破历史纪录，八月出货量延续近期强劲势头。澳大利亚农林渔业部（DAFF）最新发布的月度数据显示，上月对所有目的地的冰鲜与冷冻牛肉出口总量达135,570吨，创历史第二高纪录，仅次于前月150,000吨的水平。

澳大利亚肉类及畜牧业协会（MLA）在周一发布的九月半年度牛业预测更新中预计，2025日历年牛肉出口量将达150万吨（装运重量）。这得益于澳大利亚持续利用全球供应紧张格局——主要竞争对手市场（如美国、巴西）因产量下降和关税影响导致供给受限。

支撑该预测的基础是：今年屠宰量预计增长8.6%至902万头，动力来自稳定的活牛供应和略有扩大的加工能力。随着美国开始进入存栏重建阶段，巴西在大量屠宰和干旱恢复后面临存栏收缩，加之其出口美国面临关税壁垒，澳大利亚在未来一两年内独具优势满足国际需求增长。
