We asked ourselves and the world to base decisions on good science, and I really believe the United States can be the leader in delivering that message to our international trading partners.
From Mike Johanns
The goal is to normalize trade relations based on sound science and consumer protection.
There is a certain amount of momentum that is achieved when one country after another reopens their borders.
Fortunately, when it comes to meat and poultry, I have the really wonderful situation of having producers and processors that produce and process a very high-quality product.
People enjoy our meat and our poultry, as I do as a consumer.
We need to always be vigilant on the sanitary issues.
Science is the international language, so when we are able to convince countries that good decision-making for human health and animal health is based upon science, that's a real success story for us.
In 75 foreign countries, we have a presence in the USDA.
The industry is becoming very ready for animal identification.
In this day and age when we do so much business in foreign trade, we need the ability to identify trace an animal very quickly, identifying where it came from - where it has been, and where it is at today.
