Inside the blue room: James Hennessy talks protein in APAC in 2026

Welcome to the Blue Room, Foods Connected's new insight-led interview series. We'll be talking to our in-house industry experts and other guests about the issues that matter to businesses in the food sector.  In this edition we chat with Foods Connected's Head of Protein, James Hennessy, to discuss the volatility of international beef prices and what the APAC protein market looks like in 2026. 

In our chat we cover:

  • The Chinese tariffs and how they will change things internationally for beef

  • How  the world protein markets will evolve over 2026

  • The biggest changes in protein this year

  • And what businesses can do to ensure their supply chains remain resilient as the year progresses
