Australian beef exports to China have surged, as an annual quota looms. 

China has set an import quota for Australian produce at just 205 thousand tonnes for the year before a 55 percent tariff is applied. 

About 21 percent of that figure has been filled in the first two months of the year. 

Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke with Rabobank's Angus-Gidley Baird about how the quota has affected trade so far this year.
