Posted 8/10/23

US lamb producers are seeking relief from imported lamb and mutton through a phase-in tariff rate quota.

Protect American Lamb, a project under the auspices of the R-CALF USA, has filed a petition with US Trade Representative Katherine Tai.

The 33-page petition shows that imported lamb and mutton, primarily from Australia and New Zealand, have increased 2,363 percent in dollar value and 543 percent in quantity since the early 1990s.
