The Canadian Cattle Association hosted the third 2024 meeting with its North American counterparts, including the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and CNOG, their Mexican counterparts.
The groups met on the sideline of the Canadian Beef Industry Conference and discussed the challenges and opportunities facing beef producers across Canada, the U.S., and Mexico.
Topics this year included trade policy, the upcoming U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement review in 2026, and international engagement on microbial resistance.
“NCBA values our relationships with our Canadian and Mexican counterparts and our ability to come together as allies to tackle issues facing North American producers,” says NCBA President Mark Eisele. “In addition to discussing international trade and animal health concerns, we’re also standing together to push back against lab-grown proteins.”
He also says the lab-grown protein companies are trying to capitalize on the incredible reputation of real beef.
The next meeting will be in San Antonio, Texas, in 2025.
