Prime Minister Mark Carney's January trip to Beijing led to China lifting its 2021 ban on Canadian beef imports due to a mad cow case, with first shipments expected soon and a boost for Alberta producers. Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald announced the news on January 20, restoring access to China's huge market amid heavy U.S. exports already in place. Yet backlash grows as beef prices hit $8.50-$10.50 per pound for ground and up to $35 for ribeye, fueled by low cattle supplies and high feed costs—prompting Conservative leaders to call it a Liberal-driven crisis while food inflation outpaces G7 averages.
