The North American Meat Institute (Meat Institute) said with the conclusion of a trade dispute with the European Union (EU), starting January 1, 2020, U.S. beef producers will have the opportunity to double exports to Europe by 2025.

“This agreement is yet another successful effort by the Administration and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer to negotiate trade disputes and agreements on behalf of the U.S. meat and poultry industry – and win,” said Meat Institute President and CEO Julie Anna Potts. “As a result of the Administration’s diligent efforts, our beef producers will gain better access to a top market.”
