Hatfield On Committee A delegation of Japanese beef industry leaders took a look at the Oregon beef industry last week—and they liked what they saw. The Oregon Cattlemen’ s Association ar d the Oregon Beef Council were assisting as hosts to this Japanese' eef team. This Japanese s u r v e y team w ill spend three weeks In the United States observing reef industry activities. What made the v is it doubly significant Is the expectations fo r Japan to Increase the levels of Its beef imports from 42.S m illlo r pounds in 196" to 45 m illion In 1959 and p .s s ltly 55 m illion In 19 '0. Denji Ogawa, leader of the five-man d e le g a t io n visiting Oregon and other western ceef centers, and Chairman, Japan Meat Trade Cooperatives, said Japan is looking to the United States as a potential supplier of prime and choice beef fo r "the restaurant and carriage trade.” Japan is also Interested in Importing more live animals, Angus and Hereford bulls and heifers, to improve the blood lines of the nation’ s own con siderable cattle Industry. Katsuya Amal, President of both Amai Meat Co., Ltd., and of the Young Japanese Meat Dealers Association, said cuts of Japan’ s famed Kobe beef suitable fo r Suklyakl use In fine hotels and restaurants, Is actually sold by the gram In J apar, and would rur as high as $7.5C to $C per pound, retail. While Japan does charge a25 per cent duty on beef imports, FOB Tokoyo, plus a 10-cents per pound Industry promotion fee, Oregon cattle leaders said comparable quality beef from this country could easily com pete in the Japanese market. D e s c r ib in g the numerous meetings which Oiogon cattle industry leaders had w ith visito rs during their three-day stay in Oregon, Denny Jones, President of the Oregon Cattle men’ s Association, said that e x c e p t fo r the necessity of working through an Interpreter, it was much like any gather ing of cattlemen. “ We talked about the things all cattlemen talk a b o u t, experiences In calving, bulls, the number of cattle being fed.” Jones said the v i s i t o r s seemed not only greatly In terested lr. all that they saw, but a ls o appeared to enjoy throughly the top-grade beef served to them here. Oregon Beef Council Chair man, Jim Brooks said there is no doubt but what Japan can be developed Into an im portant market fo r Northwest beef, and could foresee ” BEEF- O-RAMA” type promotion In the not too distant future, to demonstrate to the Jananese housewife how to choose, buy and prepare various cuts of beef. Brooks pointed to the success which Oregon wheat growers have had In persuading the Jap anese consumer to accept wheat products as an Increasing share of their diet, and suggested that something sim ila r could be done In beef promotion. Harold Kummer of Hillsboro, Chairman of the Western States Meat Packers Association, who took the visitors on a tour of Portland area packing plants, said, "There is definitely a market and our main problem w ill be to get a quota. There is no question but what our North west meats w ill f ill their needs, and considering the high price they are paying fo r top grades, we are monetarily in a posi tion to meet the competition.” Fred Phillips, OCA F irs t Vice-President, said, "T h is is a coming market that merits a lot of exploration. With the big airlines such as the OS’s there is nothing to prevent us from shipping to Japan in a matter of hours tons of fresh rather than frozen beef.” He added that freight would not be too great ar item on quality meat. Joe S m ith , Klamath Falls rancher and Purebred Angus breeder, said that he had prev iously shipped breeding stock to Japan and that his phase of foreign exports could also be considerably developed.
