European Union pork production is shrinking. Do you agree that the time is now for U.S. pork producers to focus on Europe? Think about it: - European pork producers may not be able to meet European demand due to stricter regulations. - Like all consumers, European consumers want high-quality, sustainably produced meat. - There's a growing gap in Europe that U.S. pork can fill. As Dan Halstrom, President and CEO of the U.S. Meat Export Federation, mentioned at SIAL Paris, this is a golden opportunity. But here's the challenge: Are we ready to meet Europe's expectations? Here's the truth: Europe's market is within reach—but only if we adapt. Do U.S. pork producers have the ability to align with European standards on sustainability and animal welfare? Organizations like the National Pork Producers Council and the National Pork Board are likely key to setting the stage for this transformation. Only then can we unlock this massive market. Remember: - Embrace sustainable and ethical farming practices. - Obtain necessary certifications to meet EU compliance. - Align our marketing messages with European values. Let's turn this challenge into an opportunity and bring U.S. pork to European tables! Thanks National Hog Farmer, for sharing this article. Do U.S. pork producers have the ability to adapt to meet European market demands? Share your thoughts below! #Agriculture #InternationalTrade #Sustainability #FoodIndustry #Export

In an increasingly volatile world it is important to understand the vulnerabilities of the EU food system. The EU food system relies on imports of products ranging from fertilisers to soya beans for the livestock feed industry. This report for the European Parliament, carried out with our friends at Areté, identifies notable cases of input import dependency. It also describes the tools to secure those inputs to make the EU less dependent on foreign suppliers. It highlights appropriate measures to increase the EU food system’s resilience to disruptions in trade flows and price increases of imported inputs. #europeanparliament #foodsecurity #spglobal #arete https://lnkd.in/ejU4_wuy

It will be prohibited to import a range of fruits and vegetables from Russia and Belarus into #Latvia. This is due to the regulations adopted by the government on Tuesday, March 5, which determine certain products that will not be allowed into #Latvia from Russia and Belarus. The ban on imports of the products in question will come into force as early as Friday, March 8. The import ban applies to root vegetables, regular vegetables, legumes, nuts, fruits, grains, flour, cakes and pellets for animal feed, t grape residues, plant materials and vegetable waste, residues, by-products, and articles for use in animal feed. The annotation of the regulations states that Latvia, as a Russian border state, is trying to achieve the earliest possible severance of economic ties with the aggressor state, and Latvia's initiative to ban imports of agricultural and feed products from Russia and Belarus, as well as from other third countries, if the products in question are Russian or Belarusian, is an additional element of the common European Union sanctions policy. "So far, choice and ethical behavior have been left to businesses, but about national security aspects, behavior based on moral considerations must be determined at the national level. Farmers have publicly expressed their displeasure with the continuation of Latvia's relationship with the aggressor state and its desire to end any relationship with it, including the use of its products in human and animal consumption,” the regulations note reads. The provisions on prohibited products will enter into force on March 8 2024. According to the Food and Veterinary Service, a total of 16 companies imported feed products, including cereals, and feed materials into Latvia.
