US - The Vice-President Pork Analysis with EMI Analytics says talk of changing US trade policy is creating uncertainty in hog markets but, as yet, has not impacted prices, Bruce Cochrane reports.As a result of increased US pork production, resulting from higher than year ago slaughter hog numbers, growth of the breeding herd and expanded capacity coming on line to process those hogs, access to export markets is expected to become even more important than it already is.Dr Steve Meyer, the Vice-President Pork Analysis with EMI Analytics, says talk of changing US trade policy has been a major point of uncertainty.

布魯斯·科克倫(Bruce Cochrane)寫道，據(jù)EMI情報分析公司的豬肉市場解析副總裁稱，有關(guān)美國貿(mào)易政策改變的言論正在引發(fā)生豬市場的不確定性，但還未影響到豬價。由于今年的生豬出欄數(shù)目遠高于去年水平，外加育種豬群數(shù)目增長，以及為了匹配增長的生豬數(shù)量，而擴張的生豬屠宰加工場，導致美國豬肉產(chǎn)量增長。因此，預計出口對生豬市場來說，會變得比以往更加重要。EMI情報分析公司的豬肉市場解析副總裁Steve Meyer,說：“有關(guān)美國貿(mào)易政策改變的言論是目前最主要市場不確定性的來源?！?
