Diversification to bolster demand

Diversification to bolster demand

The chairman of the US Meat Export Federation says diversification of product offerings is helping to grow demand for U.S. beef and pork.

Randy Spronk, a pork producer from Minnesota, says the round provides growth opportunities for beef exports.  “They’re trying to create new demand for those muscle cuts using that round,” he says.  “So USMEF is in country marketing that, showing chefs and consumers how to prepare it.  Highlighting the flavor profile it can have.”

He tells Brownfield for pork, work is being done to grow demand for the loin.
