industry adoption rates could be completely paid for with increases in
beef export demand. A 23% increase in beef export demand would
completely pay for 70% adoption of full animal ID and tracing in the US
beef herd over a 10‐year period. No other benefits beyond these would
be necessary to make the investment in NAIS economically viable.
