Russia moves closer to importing U.S. beef

Russia and the United States officially signed a bilateral trade agreement Monday that restores trade in U.S. beef, pending inspections by Russian technical experts.
Once the inspections have been completed, U.S. processors will be eligible to ship boneless and bone-in beef and variety meats from animals under 30 months of age, with all specified risk materials removed, immediately. LINK
