Abstract: There is currently an active interest in U. S. trade with other countries in meat and other livestock products. This has developed mainly because of concern over the recent fast rise--until this year--in beef imports into the United States. Increased imports of lamb and mutton have also contributed to this concern. Meanwhile, U. S. exports of meat and other livestock products have also been increasing and the outlook for the future is encouraging. The purpose of this article is to summarize some of these developments and to show their importance in relation to U. S. production of livestock and livestock products. It offers a brief picture of the nature and extent of our livestock and livestock products trade with other countries.
