According to the Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries' weekly retail price survey (for August 15-19; announced August 22), the price of Japanese beef rose 6 yen from last week to 706 yen per 100g of roasting-quality meat, in line with its level of early June this year. This is the highest price since imports of US beef were stopped due to BSE incidence in the US.
