KANSAS CITY, MO. – Meat industry stakeholders are all too aware of this past year’s market volatility due to COVID-19, but there were and continue to be other factors at play too.
For this week’s MEAT+POULTRY podcast, Dustin Aherin, animal protein analyst of Rabobank AgriFinance, discussed the meat and poultry markets – past, present and future.
