It’s been a challenging year for pork. But the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) is actively engaging in international trade matters, advocating for fair market access and addressing challenges affecting pork producers worldwide to help with this. Maria Zieba, Vice President of International Affairs for the National Pork Producers Council, shed light on the current tariff landscape and what their strategic priorities are for the coming year. 

“In China, pork and pork products still face a 25 percent duty, significantly impacting the export of muscle cuts,” says Zieba. “While the trade primarily involves variety meats, NPPC emphasizes the necessity of diversification in product offerings, expressing concern about the continued imposition of tariffs affecting producers.

Meanwhile, attention is directed towards the Philippines, with efforts focused on influencing a potential tariff reduction by year-end, aiming to sustain market accessibility.
