A new report out from Rabobank shows the U.S. pork sector could grow 11 percent between 2017 and 2025. That growth will be supported by production efficiency and adding additional processing capacity. Nebraska Pork Producers Association Executive Director Al Juhnke says they’ve been seeing that growth for the last couple of years both nationally and in Nebraska.

He says additional processing along with robust trade agreements are the keys to continuing growth in the pork industry.

Juhnke says pork exports have been good and he expects those to increase going forward.

The Rabobank study says as more pork comes into the market that will put more pressure on the industry to increase its exports.
