Despite the mad cow nonsense last year, the sale of US beef continues to grow in Korea:

The nation’s imports of U.S. beef have edged up.

According to the Korea Agro-Fisheries Trade Corporation, U.S. beef imports grew two-point-five percent to over five-thousand tons in January over December.

Shipments of U.S beef increased steadily from last July, when imports were resumed, up through October, before decreasing 20 percent in November and again in December.

The corporation said Korean importers have cut back on U.S. beef shipments due to the strength of the U.S. dollar against the Korean won.  [KBS Global]
