The U.S. Meat Export Federation makes it simple for our member
companies to update their contact information by giving them the ability

also edit their own information as desired.

Dear Members:
Thanks to USMEF efforts, USDA and the support of the beef, pork,
lamb, corn, sorghum, and soybean checkoff programs, 13.1 percent of
U.S. beef production was sold to consumers outside our borders in 2003
and more than 12 percent of U.S. pork production in 2005. More than
360 million bushels of feedgrain and soy products were exported
through value added exports of U.S. beef, lamb and pork in 2003.
Unfortunately, the bans on U.S. beef imports due to a lone case of BSE
reduced our beef exports by 75 percent in 2004 and the feedgrain and
soybean figure fell to a still substantial 234 million bushels.
This directory is first and foremost a tool for improved communication within
our industry. We want you to achieve all that you can achieve in the
global marketplace, and this little booklet will help you get in touch
with our Denver and international staff. We encourage you to contact
us for help, advice and information. We also recommend you refer
daily to our Web site, www.usmef.org, which is our primary means of
communication with our members.
