Looking for a boost for meat export prices, beef producers are hoping for passage of the Trans Pacific Partnership. The National Cattle and Beef Association is urging passage of the 12-nation trade deal, which would reduce Japan’s tariffs on beef from 38.5% to 9% over 16 years, according to Drovers Editor Greg Henderson. President Obama is planning to promote the trade deal during an upcoming trip to Asia.
