Gov. Heineman's Statement on
Opening of Japan to U.S. Beef
(Lincoln, NE) Gov. Dave Heineman today issued the following statement about the partial resumption of U.S. beef trade with Japan:
"The importance of foreign markets to Nebraska's international beef trade cannot be overstated, and few markets have ever meant so much as Japan. While I am hopeful that our trade relationship can be restored to its former stature and while I am grateful for the current opportunity, I will remain cautious until I see the follow-through of a regular flow of U.S. and Nebraska beef into Japan. Ours is the best beef in the world."
