A South Dakota farmer says there’s opportunity to grow Mexico’s demand for US red meat.
Todd Hanten, who was representing the South Dakota Soybean Research and Promotion Council, took part in the US Meat Export Federation’s recent trade mission to Monterrey, Mexico. “There’s a lot of opportunities to get U.S. red meat into the diets of the people at home and the people dining out,” he says. “It used to be a lot of variety Cuts but now it’s getting to be some of the premium cuts as well that are really selling here.”
He tells Brownfield the trade relationship with Mexico helps add value to US products and uses pork cheekbones as an example.
