Beef tops deforestation chart as palm oil and soy follow

New Nature Food analysis links two decades of forest loss to commodity farming, with beef the leading driver (about 120 million acres destroyed, mostly in the tropics like the Amazon) and beef-related emissions exceeding three times the US’s annual total. Oil palm and soy also cleared millions of tropical forests, while staples such as maize, rice, and cassava can have large footprints. The study suggests reducing beef can help rainforests, though global demand remains strong and data limitations complicate measurement of cocoa/coffee impacts.

Trump Expands Argentina Beef Imports to Stabilize U.S. Ground Beef Prices

President Trump issued a proclamation to temporarily raise the tariff-rate quota for lean beef trimmings by 80,000 metric tons per year, allowing tariff-free imports from Argentina in four quarterly blocks to address domestic lean-beef shortages and elevated ground-beef prices, while the administration monitors supplies and considers further actions to support ranchers and keep costs down.

Trump expands Argentine beef imports with bigger tariff quota, price relief uncertain

President Trump signed a proclamation to raise the tariff-rate quota for Argentine beef by 80,000 metric tons, allowing more lean beef trimmings to enter the U.S. at a lower duty. Economists say the effect on grocery prices will likely be small despite record U.S. beef prices and a drought-strained cattle herd; the move aligns with broader trade talks with Argentina, and about 33,000 metric tons of Argentine beef were imported in 2024 (about 2% of total).

Trump to Sign Order Dramatically Expanding Argentine Beef Imports

President Trump is poised to sign an executive order that quadruples U.S. imports of beef from Argentina under a recently signed trade pact, adding about 100,000 tons and roughly $800 million in Argentine exports as a move to lower domestic beef prices. While the administration frames the plan as consumer relief, critics such as the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association say it undercuts American ranchers and won’t meaningfully cut grocery costs. The deal also suspends reciprocal tariffs on some Argentine goods and signals a deeper U.S.–Argentina alliance that could aid President Milei.

Argentina-U.S. trade pact slashes tariffs, opens markets under Milei-Trump alignment

Argentina and the United States signed a broad trade and investment agreement that eliminates reciprocal tariffs on hundreds of goods—Argentina removing barriers on more than 200 categories and the U.S. scrapping tariffs on about 1,675 Argentine products—while allowing tariff-free entry under quotas for sensitive items like vehicles, live cattle, and dairy. The deal also aims to boost U.S. imports of Argentine beef to 100,000 tons annually, and the U.S. will review its 50% steel and aluminum tariffs rather than abolish them outright. The accord underscores Milei’s pro‑market pivot and strengthens ties with Washington, though it faces domestic pushback from cattle ranchers and some lawmakers who oppose subsidies or tariff relief.

Trump tariffs: Australia dodges the worst as beef and gold fuel an export boom

Beef Booms, Eggs Fall: A Tale of Split Food Inflation in December CPI

December’s CPI for food at home rose 0.72% month-to-month (9.0% annualized), pushing the annual gain to 2.4%, with beef, dairy, coffee and other foods leading gains while eggs pulled back after earlier spikes. Ground beef jumped about 19% year-over-year as the cattle herd sits at a 64-year low; chicken breast was flat; eggs, after a huge run-up due to avian flu, fell 5% in December though remain well above pre-pandemic levels. The “other foods” category rose 1.6% and fresh fruit/vegetables 0.5%, while coffee climbed 1.9% and restaurant prices (food away from home) rose 0.7% MoM and 4.1% YoY. The piece notes the inflation split across items and questions whether the December spike is a blip or a warning that food inflation could re-accelerate if demand stays strong and supply remains tight.
