Pork Board touts positive trends for the coming year
Pork gaining in popularity at retail, foodservice.
A growing economy and increased interest in the foodservice sector are two of the biggest strengths that pork has at the moment, according to the experts assembled by the National Pork Board as part of a “state of the industry” teleconference. Even the presumed death of the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal isn’t enough to dim the outlook.
“Trade agreements have been very beneficial to the pork industry. We could look at the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement, and that’s allowed us to expand our market share very well in the Korean market,” said Brett Stuart of Global AgriTrends.
