Ambassador Doug McKalip, chief agricultural negotiator in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, and Alexis Taylor, under secretary for trade and foreign agricultural affairs at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, joined representatives of the meat, animal food, and poultry and egg industries as part of the annual International Production & Processing Expo.
“We are privileged to have the nation’s top trade officials take time from their busy schedules to participate in IPPE, meeting with exhibitors and participants, and discussing ways the United States can support agricultural exports, expand and diversify foreign markets, and address global sustainability challenges,” said the IPPE show organizers. “Their work on behalf of our members and IPPE exhibitors and attendees recognizes the important value the animal protein and feed industries play in the U.S. economy and global trade.”
