University, believes that increasing domestic meat consumption is unlikely and sees the greatest potential for American producers in expanding exports. He emphasizes that boosting global demand is crucial for profitability
with the USDA projecting a decline in animal product receipts for 2024. Tonsor also discusses his Monthly Meat Demand Monitor and what areas it indicates that Americans will prioritize in their meat consumption.
