US pork export embargoes seen short-lived
Trade restrictions of US pork imports following the swine flu outbreak are expected to be short-lived, according to the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC).
NPPC vice president and counsel for international trade policy Nick Giordano said the restrictions are misguided but going to be short-lived.
He also said the US pork industry was not at a point where there will be "significant disruption" in exports.
