The Trump administration’s focus for trade has been achieving bilateral agreements. One potentially good deal and market for U.S. pork would be India. National Pork Producers Council Vice President and Counsel for Global Government Affairs Nick Giordano says while India may not be as big a market as Japan, it has promise for American pork exports just due to its large population base.
He says another advantage to doing business with India is there aren’t any sensitive trade issues for negotiators to overcome.
Giordano says USDA Undersecretary for Trade and Foreign Affairs Ted McKinney was in India recently and that bodes well for future pork business.
McKinney says India could begin allowing U.S. pork into their country as early as next year.
