Near-universal optimism

The tone of the 2017 World Pork Expo was articulated perfectly by market expert Joseph Kerns. “It was marked by record crowds and, by my assessment, near-universal optimism. I find it interesting that the buoyant nature was not because of record profits (the 2014 iteration featured record profits but also the unknown of whether porcine epidemic diarrhea could be wrestled to the ground) but because things are better than feared and we are on the cusp of increased harvest capacity,” notes Kerns.
