Australian beef sells in San Francisco at 25 percent below domestic meat prices.

It notes Australia and Argentina retain vast grazing lands and less manufacturing, with urban populations still seaboard focused. The shift toward smaller U S farm parcels accelerates domestic price pressures while Australia remains vast grazing country.
