Over 70 U.S. Lawmakers including South Dakota Congressman Dusty Johnson have written to the U.S. Trade Ambassador seeking support for enhanced market access for pork in Vietnam. South Dakota Pork Producers Council’s President Shane Odegaard thanks the Representatives for their support as Vietnam is an important market for U.S. pork.
He says it’s always difficult to overcome tariff and non-tariff trade barriers and having the assistance of the U.S.T.R. is key in working to eliminate those.
Odegaard says it was helpful last year when Vietnam reduced its tariff rates from 15 percent to 10 percent for frozen U.S. pork products and he’s hopeful the USTR can build on that in discussions with the Vietnamese.

Senate Democrats led by Corey Booker and Rosa DeLauro have reintroduced the Safe Line Speeds During COVID 19 Act. The measure calls for suspension of waivers issued earlier during the pandemic that allowed processing plants to increase their line speeds by 25 percent. South Dakota Pork Producers Council President Shane Odegaard says having those processing plants running efficiently is critical so this legislation would curtail that.
He says those processing plants are running safely and increasing the line speeds doesn’t impair that safety.
Odegaard doesn’t understand why those Senators are pushing this measure as there really isn’t any pressing need for it.
