Hayes on US/Japan trade negotiation

Dermot Hayes, professor, was quoted in a Southeast AgNET story, "NPPC Calls for Swift U.S./Japan Trade Negotiation" April 1.

According to Dr. Dermot Hayes, an economist at Iowa State University, U.S. pork will see exports to Japan grow from $1.6 billion in 2018 to more than $2.2 billion over the next 15 years if the United States quickly gains access on par with international competitors. Hayes reports that U.S. pork shipments to Japan will drop to $349 million if a trade deal on these terms is not quickly reached with Japan.
