The National Pork Producers Council in the USA has urged the Bush administration to reach an ambitious deal for US pork producers in a free trade agreement (FTA) with South Korea.
“South Korea is an important export market for US pork producers, but further growth is imperiled by increased South Korean imports of Chilean pork,” said NPPC president Jill Appell, a pork producer from Altona, Illinois.
The US administration must notify Congress by March 31 of its intent to sign the FTA with South Korea.
