Thursday's beef, pork, exporter and feedgrain/oilseed breakouts will also provide in-depth discussion on topics relevant to each sector.
Friday’s closing session will focus on creative programs USMEF has designed in emerging markets to not only increase the exports of U.S. red meat, but also expand the range of U.S. red meat cuts available in wet markets and butcher shops.
