The U.S. Meat Export Federation led a trade visit to South Korea and Japan. South Dakota Soybean Research and Promotion Council board member Todd Hanten was a member of the trade delegation and said their food consumption habits differ from what is seen in the U.S. “A lot of consumers in Korea especially order their food at night for the next day and a lot of just one-or-two meals at a time that are all packaged to just be heated and served.” Hanten serves as the liaison between the SDSRPC and USMEF. The pork industry is the biggest consumer of soybean meal in South Dakota. Helping promote pork products benefits soybean growers. “The more pork we sell and produce here, the more money that stays here.”
