Pork and Beef Production Increase in June

World Agriculture Outlook Board Chairman Mark Jekanowski says beef production increased this past month. “The increase this month reflects the ongoing pattern of pulling more beef into feedlots.” Poor forage availability persists across the country. Pork production is expected to stay steady going into 2024. “Given flat production and normal growth in demand, we expect supplies to get a little more tight.”  Jekanowski expects prices to strengthen even further next year for pork producers.
