Ryan Says U.S. Beef Can Meet Japanese Consumer Needs
U.S. beef producer and former baseball pitcher Nolan Ryan closed out a week in Japan last Friday (July 20) at the Foreign Correspondents Club talking about how U.S. beef can meet Japanese consumers’ needs for consistent, high quality products.
Ryan talked with 25 international and domestic media from news services such as the Associated Press, Reuters and Kyodo, resulting in more than 20 stories appearing in Japanese and U.S. newspapers during the weekend alone.
Media were interested in Ryan’s involvement in the U.S. beef industry as a producer and how the same product he serves to his children and grandchildren is exported for sale to meticulous consumers in Japan.
Ryan said as a U.S. beef producer, he felt the impact when the market closed in 2003, but believes export markets are vital to the growth of the U.S. beef industry so meeting international consumer needs is a high priority to him and other U.S. producers.
Ryan was in Japan to participate in American Meat Month events designed by USMEF to assure Japanese consumers and overseers that U.S. beef is safe and urged them to expand imports of the product.
