Pork industry growth remains in a “holding pattern”

The CEO of the National Pork Board says inflation, labor shortages and trade uncertainties have paused industry expansion.

Bill Even tells Brownfield the pork sector is in a holding pattern. “There is not a lot of growth being predicted, not a lot of construction because of costs and there is just a lot of uncertainty related to feed and construction costs as well as what us going to happen with exports.”

He says it is clear that US pork is in a rough spot with China.
