MARKET PULSE: FOOD INDUSTRIES

How volatility is impacting the beef sector

Like many companies in the agricultural industry, beef producers
are experiencing volatile times. The combination of the
escalating costs of doing business, the growing global demand for
protein and a variety of escalating public issues have forced
beef companies to evaluate all aspects of operations. We
interviewed Eric Buckman, senior vice president of U.S. Bank Food
Industries, and Hal Brown, vice president of U.S. Bank Food
Industries to capture their perspectives on the beef sector, from
recent crisis management issues in social media to the promising
demand from non-traditional global markets.
