Domestic pork consumption driving North American pork markets: Symposium keynote

An economist with Partners for Production Agriculture expects domestic demand for pork to be the key factor driving pork prices heading into 2023. "The North American Outlook for Pork" was the keynote address on Day 2 of last week’s Saskatchewan Pork Industry Symposium 2022 in Saskatoon. Economist Dr. Steve Meyer says, while U.S. domestic pork demand has been stellar since the COVID shutdowns of 2020 and has been a key factor driving pork markets, it's been a disappointing year for exports from both the U.S. and Canada.
