Back to EpisodesPork Politics | Why some pork will have to re-route around Massachusetts
Description
Pork is recovering from the crazy few weeks prior to Prop 12 implementation which is now pushed to January 1. I mentioned Massachusetts and their new regulations which go into effect July 12. A quirk or feature of the MA rules is no pork can be in transit through the state that doesn’t meet there new regulations, so product destined north of MA will have to route around the state. Looking at actual pork and not the politics around it, bellies closed at $105, up from last week’s $99 so I do think we will see a steady increase through summer. Butts continue to trade at a premium with some tight supplies. Loins continue to be a great value in pork.
