Never in the history of the global pork economy has there been a more vital need to understand the future dynamics of the competitive landscape of the world’s pork production systems.
On May 25 at 9 a.m. CT, AgDay TV’s host Clinton Griffiths and Farm Journal’s PORK editor Jennifer Shike will be hosting the first United Pork Americas Online Symposium, a pre-event online before the in-person conference that will take place on Sept. 7-9 in Orlando, Fla.
During this online symposium, Griffiths and Shike will discuss the global pork production system with Nathan Losey, AgResource Company grain and livestock analyst, and Richard Herzfelder, senior consultant on the international meat industry for Gira Consulting and Research.
These two internationally renowned speakers will share their perspectives and theories about the drivers that could change the competitive, international pork market going forward. From exports to pork quality and from health to profitability, Losey and Herzfelder will weigh in on the major drivers in the industry today.
