Latin American buyers attend beef seminar in Nebraska
Meat importers from Mexico, Central and South America travelled to Nebraska in mid-August to attend a series of seminars about US beef.
The US Meat Export Federation (USMEF) hosted the two-day seminar, with funding from the US Corn Growers Association, with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln as the venue.
Topics speakers covered included meat quality characteristics, processing techniques, the importance of proper freezing and thawing of meat products, and packaging methods.
Because the university has its own meat laboratory, the visitors from Latin America had the opportunity to experiment with cutting, flavouring and processing methods.
