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 unlucky "mad cow" that stirred up the "chain reaction" First of all, the US beef industry, with a total output value of 654.38+0.75 billion US dollars and employment of 654.38+0.4 million people, 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.
The biggest loss of "mad cow disease hurricane" is the decline of American consumers' confidence in beef products. 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 of China and Guangdong on the other side of the ocean have stayed away from western-style catering.
