South Korea may lift its two-year ban on U.S. beef imports at the end of this month, the Ministry of Agriculture said. A ministry official said the government would convene a group of officials, local veterinarians, health experts and consumers on Nov. 29 to decide whether to resume U.S. beef imports, the Korea Times reported Monday. The government has maintained that it cannot resume imports unless the safety of the beef is confirmed.

Looks like demand for U.S. beef may be on the increase this winter.
