I'm seeking a professional with a strong background in economics or agribusiness and experience in quantitative research methodologies. The individual should have:
- Advanced data analysis skills
- Understanding of the global pork market
- Ability to interpret complex data and turn it into understandable concepts for an academic audience.
The end result should be a comprehensive research paper that can be utilized by the academic community for further study on the subject.

https://www.iowapork.org/newsroom/facts-about-iowa-pork-production
IowaPork.org is the official website for the Iowa Pork Producers Association which represents the 155,000+ people who work in Iowa’s Pork Industry. They are always collecting date from a wide array of data points on this multi-billion a year industry.
This will help me gather data on help build my case on what promoting Iowa Pork is vital to the Iowa Economy and to help feed the world.

The USMEF.org website/organization is leading the way in collection statistical data on current US Exports in Pork, Beef, and Lamb. It works with Iowa Pork Producers, National Pork Producers Council, Pork Checkoff and many other various organizations that sell US Protien abroad. This site has exports statistics that showcase the various cuts of meat and how much is sold in a country. Certain countries, like Japan, want higher end cuts, like the CT Butt, Loin and Ribs. Where a country, like Mexico, wants cheaper cuts, like Hams and Offal.

Export Statistics
USMEF compiles trade statistics from monthly data reported by USDA/FAS and collected by the U.S. Department of Commerce. USMEF includes beef and pork muscle cuts, processed products and variety meat or offals in the trade statistics. Hides and other rendered or inedible products are not included in the data reported by USMEF.
USMEF’s monthly export statistics refer to both muscle cuts and variety meat, unless otherwise noted. Complete historical export data for U.S. pork, beef and lamb are located under the “Monthly Export Archive” tab. Highlights from the latest monthly export data released are located under the “Latest Export Results” tab.
USMEF also provides highlights from the weekly data reported through USDA/FAS’s Export Sales Reporting Program for beef and pork. This data only includes reported exports of boxed muscle cuts (including three or six piece carcasses) and does not include variety meats, further processed products or trim.

The World Should be Your Market
Producing the safest and the most wholesome and nutritious pork products found anywhere on the planet does not mean the U.S. pork industry automatically gets access to all the world’s markets. That takes hard work and often involves overcoming significant foreign tariff and non-tariff barriers. The key to keeping U.S. pork exports flowing is free trade agreements (FTAs), which can eliminate such obstacles.
U.S. pork is shipped to more than 100 countries, and those exports add significantly to the bottom line of each pork producer. Opening new and expanding existing markets for U.S. pork exports through FTAs is vital to the industry’s continued success.

Highlights
In 2021, the value of U.S. pork and pork product exports to the world reached a record $8.1 billion, up 5 percent from the prior year as stronger prices offset lower volumes. The top three markets, accounting for 63 percent of exports, were China, Japan, and Mexico – each importing approximately $1.7 billion of pork. China remained the top market for U.S. pork despite a sharp decline in shipments after a record high in 2020. Meanwhile, pork exports to Mexico rebounded on pent-up consumer demand and a stronger peso. A better economic and foodservice environment, coupled with less demand in China, allowed U.S. pork exports to a variety of markets to rebound after depressed demand in 2020. In the Philippines, shortages due to ASF in domestic supplies and more favorable import policies saw U.S. pork exports surge 79 percent to surpass $200 million for the first time
