Saudi Arabia: US Beef Export Requirements Changed

U.S. beef exports to Saudi Arabia no longer need to be from a USDA Export Verification program. Separately, Saudi Arabia now permits bovine-derived tallow in animal feed, including ruminant feed. The removal of the Export Verification requirement, along with tallow acceptance, is likely to lower trade barriers and increase U.S. beef exports to Saudi Arabia.
