Developing Market Opportunities for Value-Added Meat and Poultry Products. Program Year 2004-2005 Final rept

摘要

Given the increasing economic pressure on the regions meat and poultry producers and the resultant associated diminishing margins derived from the commodity market, producers have been encouraged to investigate alternative market opportunities. One area of opportunity that has been identified is that of value-added products. The demand for value-added meat and poultry products has been well-established with many reports of demand exceeding current supply. This project offers the regions producers training and technical assistance that will broaden and strengthen their presence and ability to compete in the value-added market.
