The meat sector is bracing for the impact of a Donald Trump presidency. 

The President-Elect has campaigned on tariffs of up to 20% on all imports, with higher tariffs for imports from China.

Meat Industry Association Chair Nathan Guy told Ryan Bridge the tariff plan will hit the sector pretty hard. 

He says it will hit US consumers even harder as they'll have to pay more for the red meat and burger patties we produce.
