Abstract: Pork is an agricultural commodity that is marketed in different forms, and this makes it difficult to compare pork prices on an international level. Yet relative international prices are used in evaluating trade potential and policies. This article evaluates several methods of comparing pork prices in trade. The most suitable method is one that compares the prices of wholesale cuts, adjusted for transportation costs. At the level of wholesale prices, the United States and Canada are competitive in the world market for certain cuts at certain times. Other nations evaluated fall short of the US and Canadian advantages. © 1995 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
