Urbanization leads to food demand increase Population growth and rapid rural-urban migration leads to an increase in demand for more and greater diversity of food. Domestic food supply chains cannot keep up, according to a white paper published by The Economist Intelligence Unit and commissioned by Cargill. Food consumption is forecast to more than double on a per-capita basis in China and South Asia. The paper also said more diverse diets are more resource-intensive, especially when meat is included. Meat accounts for 17% of global calorie intake.

China to accept UK beef exports Britain will begin exporting beef to China later this year as both countries recently confirmed. This brings an end to the export ban that’s been in place for the last 23 years. Both countries are finalizing health protocols which will see health certificates accompany all shipments to China. Estimates on exports to China are 230 million pounds ($288 million) over the next five years. China began the process of lifting its import ban on British beef last February, and this year Chinese officials completed a series of inspections of meat-processing plants and other facilities in the UK. w w w.

Ezzie’s Wholesale to Celebrate Open House at New Malta Store Bill Meyers and the entire staff for Ezzie’s Wholesale invite customers to attend an Open House at the brand new facility in Malta, located right next door to the old building at 47259 US Hwy 2, on July 26 from ten o-clock in the morning until about three o’clock. Product vendors will be on site; there will be door prizes and Traeger grills slow cooking some tasty cuisine for attendees to savor as the company celebrates this landmark day. If walls really could talk, as the saying goes, this new location is a clean slate, but the older building next door has seen a great deal of evolution. Ezzie’s Wholesale, Inc. locations today dot the map along the northern tier of Montana, but the mini-empire created by Clyde Ezra Ereaux, known to most as “Ezzie” had humble beginnings in the little store in Malta.
