Welcome to this week's newsletter Editorial: Marketing Meat Abroad The US Meat Export Federation has unveiled a new advertising campaign to promote US beef in South Korea. Pork is proving popular in Japan, as the US introduced pork back ribs to the market. With demand expected to grow, the US Meat Export Federation estimates that the US will have exported 660,000 pounds of pork back ribs by the end of the holiday season. However, they could be in competition with Meat and Livestock Australia, who has launched a seasonal promotion to boost sales of beef to Japan, where consumption of boneless beef has risen significantly. The Canadian Pork Council has said that the establishment of individual bilateral trade agreements is crucial to the success of Canada's pork industry. Despite talks at the World Trade Organisation moving slowly, the Council has applauded efforts by federal governments to establish bilateral free trade agreements. Elsewhere in Canada, the provincial government will give itself the power to pick where poultry will be processed in the future. A decision which the Agriculture Minister says he has no choice but to do, after farmers from Quebec and Ontario blocked their chickens from being exported to Nadeau.
