Representatives of the meat industry from around the globe gathered in the Netherlands last week for the World Meat Congress, a function of the International Meat Secretariat (IMS). The U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) was represented at the event by President and CEO Dan Halstrom and Vice President of Economic Analysis Erin Borror.
Borror serves as co-chair of the IMS economics committee. In this audio report, she offers background on the World Meat Congress and talks about the importance of the global industry coming together to offer a unified voice on issues such as regulation and sustainability. Borror adds that it is especially critical for the meat industry to work effectively with the World Organization for Animal Health and the Codex Alimentarius Commission, which establishes global standards for food safety.
