Import Formula Drafted amid Meat Quota Talks
Agriculture Secretary Knebel says substantive agreements with major suppliers are needed to keep imports within quota while avoiding higher hamburger prices. The voluntary deals mainly involve Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, with past efforts aimed at preventing over shipments and protecting domestic meat levels. This fall the preset import limit is about 123 percent of a 1377 level tied to U.S. meat production, shaping a critical test this year.
