Tridge summary

The article provides an overview of the current state of the US dairy and meat industry, focusing on recent trends in sales, exports, and production. It starts by reporting a significant increase in US beef net sales for 2024 to marketing-year highs, with notable increases in orders from East Asian countries like South Korea, Japan, and China. In contrast, pork net sales have seen a decrease, with only Australia showing an increase. Beef exports have also seen a slight decrease but remain high in value, while pork exports have seen an 11% drop.

The article then discusses a new Florida law that bans the production, distribution, and sale of cultivated meat, a move criticized as protectionist and unconstitutional by the Institute for Justice and the dairy industry
