Cattle Producers Excited About Potential Trade Deal with Japan
Sun, 25 Aug 2019 14:10:51 CDT
National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) President Jennifer Houston today issued the following statement regarding President Trump's announcement for increased market access to Japan, the top export market for U.S. beef.
"Today is an exciting day for America's cattlemen and cattlewomen. President Trump and his trade team have delivered another great victory for the U.S. beef industry by expanding market access to Japan, our top export market. Last year, Japanese consumers purchased over $2 billion of U.S. beef, accounting for roughly one-quarter of overall U.S. beef exports. Removing the massive 38.5 percent tariff on U.S. beef will level the playing field in Japan, and we are very thankful to President Trump and his trade team for continuing to fight on behalf of America's ranching families."
