NCBA hopes Korean FTA will open doors

National Cattlemen’s Beef Association president Bill Donald—obviously pleased with the President’s signing of the FTAs—hopes the South Korean agreement will open doors with other countries in the Asian-Pacific Rim area.

“We’ve got some issues there with countries that have artificial trade barriers, such as Japan and China,” Donald says, “and I hope as they see this implemented and see the benefits to South Korea—and how it’s going to enhance trade between our countries—that they will follow suit.”

Donald says the trade agreements will increase beef demand and profitability.  He points to a CattleFax report putting the average per head value of exports to live cattle at over 200 dollars.
