KOREA WANTS U.S., CANADIAN BEEF SEGREGATED BEFORE SHIPMENT

Trade with U.S. could resume soon

South Korean officials notified the U.S. this week they will not resume beef trade until U.S. processors segregate Canadian beef from U.S. beef. Following audits of 37 U.S. facilities, the Koreans said beef trade with the U.S. would resume "soon," but Canada does not have a trade agreement with South Korea.
