CME: S Korea FTA Significant to US Pork Exports
US - The US Congress ratified three free trade agreements, with S. Korea, Panama and Colombia. In the context of US beef and pork trade, the FTA

which through the first eight months of 2011 has accounted for
10 per cent of all US pork exports and 16 per cent of all beef exports, write Steve Meyer and Len Steiner.
