"We probably made a mistake in becoming too dependent on the China market," he said in remarks to the fall forum of North American Meat Institute (NAMI).
"There`s a hungry world out there besides Canada, besides, China, and we’re pursing that," he added, saying the administration was pursuing new agreements with the European Union and India, among others.
