DENVER, Colo. - Livestock
producers from around the world
unified their efforts to boost world
prices by developing coordinated
trade, production and promotion
policies during the first World
Livestock Producers Conference
on Oct. 30.
Policy statements adopted
during the closing session of the
international livestock conference
reflected a strong consensus that
multilateral government
initiatives to assure orderly
marketing will benefit both ex
porters and importers of beef, pork
and sheep meat throughout the
world. The statements urged an
easing of current global marketing
restrictions, but strongly endorsed
the limited use of subsidies to
equalize trade relations.

30 Nations Attend World Livestock Conference
Delegates, representing
agricultural organizations from 30
nations, engaged in heated debate
before adopting a recommendation
addressing the use of implanted
hormones in beef cattle.
The statements were drafted
separately by delegates
representing beef, sheep, and pig
producers, and were debated and
adopted by the roughly 140
producers’ representatives at
tending the full conference. The
four-day conference was spon
sored by the International
Federation of Agricultural
Producers (IFAP), a global forum
representing 62 producer
organizations in 51 counties.
Trade initiatives endorsed by the
delegates are intended to stabilize
and increase incomes for

Higher Meat
Prices
The policy statement reads,
“Every effort must be made to
improve meat producers’ incomes.
The conference called for urgent
and coordinated action by
governments world-wide to raise
meat prices on international
markets.
“Stocks overhanging the
markets should be liquidated with
minimal damage to world markets
and the objective should be to
avoid these stocks from building
up again.”
The statement recognized the
differences of opinion regarding
the impact of national price sup-

port policies on international
trade, saying, “It is essential to
ensure that national support
policies do not disrupt in
ternational markets. Since only a
small proportion of world meat
production enters international
trade, very small surpluses in
major producing countries can
severely depress international
meat markets.”
Use of Growth
Promotants
While the statements on pricing
and promotion programs gained
general acceptance during the
debate, delegates divided sharply
on the issue of banning hormone
implants and other growth
stimulants in beef cattle.
The controversy centered
around the European Economic
Community’s ban on the use of
implanted hormones in beef
production after Jan. 1, 1988.
Several delegates from Common
Market nations argued that the
continued use of hormones by
other exporting countries will
place European producers at an
economic disadvantage in the
marketplace. But other delegates
stressed that IFAP should not go
on record in favor of limiting
production technology.
After extensive debate, the
statement adopted by the con
ference read, in part, “Greater
efforts should be made to adapt the
product to consumer
requirements, e.g. meeting
preferences for meat with

adequate marbling. In some
countries, it may be necessary to
produce and market meat without
the use of certain implanted or
administered growth promotants.
It is noted that in other countries,
the use of these promotants is
acceptable.”
Additional policies adopted by
the delegates supported expanded
meat promotional programs, and
reflected a growing concern over
the animal welfare movement in
the weorld.
The policy statement reads,
“Delegates called for a major all
industry international promotion
effort in favor of all meats. Such a
program would correct misin
formation concerning meat con
sumption and health, and would
promote increased awareness of
the value of meat in a balanced
diet.”
The animal welfare provisions in
the policy stress, “It was
recommended that
producers in the cojttries con
cerned establish nationakindustry
committees (inter-prdiession)
including veterinarians and
representatives of responsible
animal rights groups. These
committees should discuss the
demands of animal welfare lob
byists in a calm way. Further,
livestock farmers should un
dertake a public education
program...to show that livestock
are in fact raised under good
conditions.”
