An ag economist says he’s cautiously optimistic about domestic demand for US pork products in 2024.
Glynn Tonsor with K-State says demand has pulled back this year with the biggest impact on pork chops. “This is not a signal that consumers don’t want meat protein. That’s actually an inaccurate statement. The majority do very much want to have meat protein in their diet, but it’s an affordability thing. I think in 2024, there’s hope that will improve.”
He tells Brownfield discretionary spending will have to improve.
