Europe's BSE Woes May Help U.S. Exports "The crisis has definitely precipitated a lot more interest in the U.S., because they trust the safety of our product," says Phil Seng, president and CEO of the U.S. Meat Export Federation. But market access is difficult because of the EU ban on growth promotants. Seng said if the EU would relax its hormone ban, U.S. suppliers could more easily meet the demand. In addition, other markets traditionally supplied by Europe may become more open to U.S. beef. "There are a lot of markets that were traditional markets of the Irish and markets of the Germans...especially the Middle East," Seng says. "We are talking a couple hundred thousand metric tons of opportunities out there that need to be addressed." |
