Discussion Items:
Todd Inglee CCA President 2017-2018
Todd spoke about who the CCA is and how it came about. The CCA was formed in 1867. CCA is all done by volunteers. Todd was able to go to Korea and Japan to see how they run their associations. “We are feeding the world” Inglee said. US beef is overseas and they can’t get enough. It is truly appreciated by foreign countries. Market growth outside US is 96% more potential growth outside US. Japan brings more value for US beef exports. Huge market potential over seas. They love USDA Beef. Issues ahead: Water endangered species
