Japanese beef buyers tour Wisconsin farms, processors

A delegation of six Japanese chefs and food service providers is in Wisconsin to see beef production first-hand. 

The Wisconsin Beef Council and the U.S. Meat Export Federation organized the trade mission to show beef buyers how their meat is raised and processed, from the farm to the meat case, and to the table.

Tammy Vaasen with the Wisconsin Beef Council says the Wisconsin Initiative for Agricultural Exports funding allows the council to show Japanese buyers the diversity, quality genetics, and sustainability of the state’s beef industry.
