CALGARY — China's ongoing ban on Canadian beef appears to have no end in sight, making it a textbook example of the uncertainty Canadian exporters continue to face in that market.
Atypical BSE develops spontaneously in about one in every million cattle. It is not the same as classic BSE, which is more commonly known as mad cow disease. Atypical BSE poses no health risk to humans, unlike the classic strain which has been linked to the fatal neurological disorder Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
"It certainly is viewed as a growth market," said Chris White, president and CEO of the Canadian Meat Council, which represents meat packers and processors. "I think they are just taking their time," he said. "My sense is China is fairly pragmatic. If they need something, they'll take in the product. And if they don't, because there are other considerations, then they won't. They won't advance their timetable."
