Joojinta canshuurta hilibka lo'da ee Trump oo caro gelisay xoolo-dhaqatada Maraykanka
Xoolo-dhaqatada ayaa ku muransan saameynta joojinta canshuurta, iyadoo qiimaha hilibka lo'da ee la soo dejiyo uu hoos u dhacay
Dabayaaqadii bishii Agoosto, Madaxweynaha Maraykanka Donald Trump ayaa ku dhawaaqay joojin 90 maalmood ah oo ku saabsan canshuuraha qaar ka mid ah hilibka lo'da, taasoo ka dhigtay in hilibka lo'da la soo dejiyo uu ka jaban yahay, gaar ahaan kan ka yimaada Brazil. Go'aanka waxaa lagu macneeyay inuu hoos u dhigayo qiimaha macaamiisha, laakiin xoolo-dhaqato badan oo Maraykanka ah ayaa u arkay khiyaano, iyagoo diyaarinayay inay lo'da suuqa geeystaan.
Qiimaha suuqa lo'da oo hoos u dhacay
Weli ma cadda sida go'aanku ugu dambeyntii u saameyn doono qiimaha dukaamada, laakiin saameynta xoolo-dhaqatada waxay ahayd mid degdeg ah: qiimaha xaraashka lo'da ayaa hoos u dhacay, taasoo si ku meel gaar ah u yareysay faa'iidada xoolo-dhaqatada. Ururrada xoolo-dhaqatada ee Maraykanka sida Ururka Xoolo-dhaqatada Maraykanka, Ururka Qaranka Xoolo-dhaqatada Hilibka Lo'da iyo Farm Bureau ayaa dhammaantood ka soo horjeestay go'aanka. Xubnaha Congress-ka ee Jamhuuriga ah ee miyiga ayaa iyaguna iska fogeeyay, laakiin ma cadda sida xoolo-dhaqatada u codeyn doonaan doorashooyinka dhexe.
Xoolo-dhaqatada oo ka hadlay saameynta
Chad Basinger, oo xoolo-dhaqato ku ah Pretty Prairie ee Kansas, ayaa shaki ka qaba in soo dejinta ay saameyn weyn yeelan doonto. Wuxuu sheegay in dadka qaar ay yiraahdeen waxay u codeyn doonaan xisbiga kale ama ma codeyn doonaan, laakiin guud ahaan wuxuu qabaa in aanay arrintu badnaan doonin. Basinger wuxuu kaloo sheegay in xoolo-dhaqatada ay miisaami doonaan tallaabooyinka kale ee maamulka, sida $8bn oo gargaar beeraley ah oo lagu dhawaaqay Kansas 19 Oktoobar.
Saameynta mustaqbalka iyo xaaladda suuqa
David Anderson, oo ah dhaqaale-yahan beeraha oo ka tirsan Jaamacadda Texas A&M oo talo siiya xoolo-dhaqatada, ayaa sheegay in qiimaha sare ee sanadkan ay ahayd inuu xoolo-dhaqatada siiyo kalsooni ay ku maalgashadaan mustaqbalka oo ay ku kordhiyaan xoolahooda. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, ka dhigista soo dejinta mid jaban ayaa laga yaabaa inay ka caawisay inay xoolo-dhaqatada u leexato jihada ka soo horjeeda. Anderson wuxuu yiri: “Runtii waxay ka soo horjeedaa calaamadda suuqa in la ballaariyo oo gudaha wax badan laga soo saaro. Taasi dad badan ayay aad uga carootay.”
Rancher groups opposed the move, and cattle auction prices fell as producers prepared to sell.
In late August, US President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on certain beef tariffs, making imports cheaper, particularly from Brazil. The move was framed as a way to lower consumer prices, but many US ranchers saw it as a betrayal as they prepared to take cattle to market.
Ranchers and Their Organisations Oppose the Tariff Pause
The United States Cattlemen's Association, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association and the Farm Bureau, all member organisations representing ranchers, opposed the decision. Rural Republican members of Congress also distanced themselves, though it is not yet clear how ranchers will vote in the midterms or whether those votes will decide races. It is too soon to tell how the pause will affect grocery prices, but auction prices fell immediately, temporarily lowering ranchers' profits.
A Kansas Rancher Sees Limited Political Fallout
Chad Basinger, a rancher in Pretty Prairie, Kansas, is sceptical that the imports will have a significant impact. "I know there's people that have said, 'Well I'm just gonna vote for the other party' or 'I'm not gonna vote' or 'This administration's really let me down'. So yes, there will be people that swing the other way in the midterms. But overall I don't think it'll be that much," Basinger said. He said ranchers will also weigh other administration actions, such as the $8bn in farm relief announced in Kansas on October 19.
Tariff Swings Add Volatility to a Shrinking Herd
David Anderson, an agricultural economist at Texas A&M University who advises ranchers, said high prices this year should have given ranchers confidence to invest and expand their herds, but cheaper imports may have pushed them the other way. "It really works against the market signal to expand and produce more domestically," Anderson said. "That got a lot of people pretty angry." America's cattle herd is near its smallest size since 1951, and observers worry that uncertainty over tariffs, fuel prices and drought may shrink the ranching population further.
