The National Pork Producers Council is seeking increased U.S. pork access to the Vietnamese market.
NPPC’s Jim Monroe tells Brownfield that will be a priority discussed during this week’s virtual Spring Legislative Conference where the organization’s members will meet with their congressional representatives.
“Pork producing competitor nations have access at a 7.5 percent tariff rate, our tariff rate is 15 percent,” he said. “So, that’s a pretty significant advantage.”
Monroe said Vietnam’s pork supply is struggling because of African Swine Fever.
