| Accessing Taiwan's Growing Pet Food Market | Product Brief | Taipei | Taiwan | 5/17/2013
Exporting pet food to Taiwan can be challenging. Not only are there unscientific barriers to imports of ruminant-based products, Taiwan's application and approval process for other products can be complicated. Still, U.S. pet food exports to Taiwan are trending upward, reaching a record US$36.4 million in 2012. The aim of this report is to clarify Taiwan's pet food regulations and barriers to entry to help U.S. exporters succeed in this vibrant and growing market.

| Seasonal conditions and market update - May 2013 | Agricultural Situation, Livestock and Products, Grain and Feed | Canberra | Australia | 5/13/2013
Large areas of northern Australia have received far below average rainfall over the last six months which has forced many cattle producers to reduce numbers dramatically and caused prices to fall steeply. The industry has also been affected by reductions in demand for live export cattle and a further breach of animal welfare standards in Egypt. Low rainfall has also affected sowing of winter crops, particularly in New South Wales and Victoria where soil moisture levels are very low.
