Last week, Governor Ricketts concluded a fourth successful trade mission to Japan.
On Tuesday, the trade delegation met with the United States Meat Export Federation (USMEF) to discuss opportunities for expanding Nebraska’s beef and pork exports to Japan.
Japan is Nebraska’s largest market for pork and 2nd largest for beef, the latter of which has seen annual sales rise by $215 million, an 88% increase, since 2015.
Conversations also highlighted Nebraska’s advancements in ethanol—like carbon sequestration and the adoption of higher ethanol blends—to leaders in Tokyo.
