According to a report by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), Palmer said that the US is unlikely to dominate the market after it has negotiated trading protocols that will allow trade to commence.
“The American market is very strong. There’s high demand. The herd is finding it difficult to keep pace with human population growth and how they perform back on the export markets following agreements with various countries remains to be seen,” Palmer said.
