The National Pork Producers Council wants better access for US pork headed into Vietnam.
Nick Giordano, vice president and counsel for NPPC, says there’s a lot of opportunity for the industry. “The US has a trade imbalance with Vietnam,” he says. “And pork alone is a great candidate to put a dent in that trade imbalance. We’ve got bipartisan support on The Hill and we’re pretty optimistic the US government is already taking this request very seriously.”
Vietnam continues to struggle with African swine fever and has had to increase their imports of pork.
