Pork gains popularity and rising demand in U S markets
Iowa State University extension economist Gene Futrell notes pork consumption and demand have risen since the 1960s. Per capita pork use grew from 64.2 pounds (1960s) to about 67.6 pounds (1970s) with prices climbing from 57 to 82 cents per pound. Factors include income growth, better pork quality, and packaging innovations.
