Production-Packer Match Point Producer output and packer capacity must coincide

摘要

To function efficiently, the U.S.Canadian pork sector must be a well-tuned interaction of mainly independent businesses. Input suppliers, producers, packers, processors, retailers and foodservice operators must all be "on the same page" in order to deliver to consumers the correct quantity of pork products with the right characteristics in a timely manner. Stated more succinctly - producers and packers had better be in step with demand! The relationship of producer output and packer capacity is critical to accomplishing this task and maintaining producer prices at equitable levels.
