In 2003, a suspected case of mad cow disease was found in the United States, which immediately brought a devastating hurricane to the newly recovered American economy. It was the unfortunate mad cow that flapped the butterfly's wings. First, the US beef industry, with a total output value of US$ 654.38+0.75 billion and employment of 654.38+0.4 million, was hit.
As the main feed source of cattle owners, the American corn and soybean industries have also been affected, and their futures prices have shown a downward trend. However, in the end, the decline of American consumers' confidence in beef products contributed to the biggest loss of the "mad cow disease hurricane".
In today's globalization, this panic not only caused the depression of domestic catering enterprises in the United States, but also spread to the whole world. At least 1 1 countries have declared an emergency ban on the import of American beef, and even the residents in China and Guangdong, who are far away from the other side of the ocean, stay away from western-style restaurants.
This is reminiscent of bird flu at that time. Avian influenza, which was first discovered in individual countries, quickly spread all over the world. Even in areas or countries where bird flu has not been found, people will talk about the color change of chickens.
