Working Through the COVID Cattle Glut

10 September 2020 | 2:00 PM

Not Oversupply as Usual

As the meat industry returns to something approaching pre-COVID levels of operation, it is tempting to return to planning for business as usual. A glut of cattle developed as processing slowed to a crawl in the spring, but this is not the kind of oversupply the market is used to seeing. Join us for a conversation as the Gro team works through the implications of this unusual market distortion, and discusses different models for how the market will find a new equilibrium.

This is the first in a series of webinars Gro will host about the global protein market. Look out for more on this topic later in the fall, including installments on how alternative proteins and changing demand for animal protein will impact global agricultural markets.
