The largest importers of Brazilian beef are China and Hong Kong, with South Africa and the Middle East taking up the rearguard, not the USA.

Surprisingly the second largest exporter of beef is India.

It is prohibited to export beef from India at all [1]. Where did you learn that they are the second largest exporter?

According to the USDA: https://www.ers.usda.gov/amber-waves/2019/july/brazil-once-a...

India's beef exports are primarily buffalo meat ("carabeef"), not cow meat. In addition, there are states in India where slaughtering cows is permitted.
