The chair of Manitoba Pork is outlining the organization's priorities for 2021.
George Matheson made the comments during his year-end interview.
"In 2021, I continue to see the challenges of African swine fever and PED being very much front and foremost. We'll continue working on a western hog price initiative that will improve things for producers. The sooner we can get on top of the COVID problems in the world and for us, how they affect the processing plants, the better. For the most part, much the same challenges as we had in 2020.
He says they've found a new general manager for the organization to replace Andrew Dickson who will be retiring. Details will be announced later.
Matheson will also be retiring in April as chair after six years in the position.
