美国-肉牛业代表讨论关键问题
2011年4月11日，星期一
美国-业界代表概述了对本周牛肉行业关键问题的意见，包括由GIPSA（谷物检验、批发及畜牧场管理局）提出的关于牲畜和家禽市场规则，联邦对乙醇作为燃料的政策和国际贸易，在一次众议院农业小组委员会关于家畜，乳制品，家禽听证会，探讨肉牛行业的状况。这些证明包括Jim Strickland，斯特里克兰牧场的所有者和佛罗里达州养牛协会会长-Anne Burkholder，威尔饲料公司（Will Feed, Inc.）的所有者，内布拉斯加州的Cozad，以及肯恩公牛肉牛采购副总，堪萨斯州市的嘉吉公司。公牛协会讨论了贸易协定的重要性，谈到，“随着全球人口到2020年接近八十亿，人均国内生产总值增长加速，对蛋白质包括牛肉将会有需求增加...我们今天的挑战是，牛肉行业是否将有这个机会获得全球对不断增长的蛋白需求，唯一的方式，它是通过自由贸易协定而成长起来的市场入口。”关于拟议GIPSA规则，Strickland先生对议员们说，“规则超出了国会在2008年农业法案的意图，建议指出包装和料场法令（PSA）的重大改变将损害我们对牛市场的操控力。”他进一步表示，“让没有错。我们依靠联邦监管机构以确保市场不受垄断、串通、操纵价格等非法活动的影响。不过，我很担心目前计划将捅破商业的轨道并且销毁生产系统，而使每个人都受益。”Burkholder女士提出了联邦政府所支持玉米作为乙醇燃料的问题，指出，“超过30年来，美国乙醇行业一直由美国纳税人资助，耗资超过300亿美元。 2010年，美国乙醇行业实现出口E10的记录达到四千六百万加仑和与干酒糟及其可溶物（DDGS），一个美国乙醇生产余积粮，达到了近九百万公吨。这是一个成熟的产业是时候要以玉米所有用户的公平竞争来制定标准。我们只是要求能够为蒲式耳玉米的标准提供一个公平竞争环境。”

Beef Industry Representatives Discuss Critical Issues
US - Industry representatives this week outlined their views on key beef industry issues, including the livestock and poultry marketing rule proposed by GIPSA, federal ethanol policy and international trade, during a House Agriculture Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry hearing held to explore the state of the beef industry.
Those testifying included Jim Strickland, owner, Strickland Ranch, and president of the Florida Cattlemen's Association; Anne Burkholder, owner, Will Feed, Inc., Cozad, Nebraska, and Ken Bull, vice president for cattle procurement, Cargill, Wichita, Kansas.
Bull discussed the importance of trade agreements, saying, “As global population approaches eight billion by 2020, and per capita GDP growth accelerates, there will be increased demand for protein including beef… Our challenge today is whether the beef industry will have the opportunity to capture this growing global demand for protein – and the only way to do it is to grow market access through free trade agreements.”
Regarding the proposed GIPSA rule, Mr Strickland told lawmakers, “This rule goes beyond the intent of Congress in the 2008 Farm Bill and proposes major changes to the Packers and Stockyards Act (PSA) that will damage our ability to market cattle. He further stated, “Make no mistake. I rely on federal regulators to ensure that the marketplace is free from monopolies, collusion, price fixing and other illegal activities. But I am worried that current plans will poke a stick in the wheels of commerce and destroy a productive system that has benefited everyone.”
Ms Burkholder raised the issue of federal support for corn ethanol, stating, “For more than 30 years the US ethanol industry has been subsidized by the American taxpayer at a cost of more than $30 billion. In 2010, the US ethanol industry realised record exports of E10 reaching 46 million gallons and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), a coproduct of U.S. ethanol production, reaching nearly nine million metric tons. This is a mature industry and it is time to level the playing field for all users of corn. We are simply asking for the ability to compete on a level playing field for a bushel of corn.”
