(NAFB.com) – The Meat Institute reacted positively after the White House announced trade deals with Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. “We applaud the elimination of onerous establishment and product registration requirements and the reinforcement of sound, internationally recognized science in determining market access,” said Julie Anna Potts, president and CEO of the Meat Institute. “We are so grateful to U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Assistant USTR for Agricultural Affairs Julie Callahan for their hard work to address both tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade that have been challenging meat and poultry exports for years.” Potts also said the Meat Institute is pleased that Cambodia and Malaysia agreed to our protections for common meat product names, and as negotiations proceed with Thailand and Vietnam, her organization will continue working with the White House to ensure the final agreements include these provisions.
