In April, US beef prices rose by 2.8% month-on-month to a record high.

```htmlGolden Ten Data reported on May 12 that in April, the average retail price of regular beef in the US soared to a new high of $7.056 per pound, rising 2.8% month-on-month, after being unchanged the previous month. This indicates that beef supply in the US remains tight, despite plans to import a record amount of beef this year to meet market demand. According to the US Department of Agriculture, in the first quarter of this year, the US has imported nearly 600,000 tons of beef and beef products, an increase of 16% compared to the same period in 2025. Yesterday, it was reported that the White House postponed an executive order that was originally intended to temporarily lower beef tariff quotas, a move that allows more beef to enter the US market at lower tariff rates. In addition, the average price of steak has also reached a historic high.```
