  18. USMEF Strategic & Program Planning Process PS&D Analysis & Forecasting(August – September) Evaluation & Country Progress Reports(July – August) Strategy Planning(September – October) Implementation(July – June) Strategic Market Profiles(October) FAS Approval Letter & Signing of MAP Agreement (June) Market Intelligence(24-7-365) USMEF BOD Meeting & Discussion of SMP’s(October – November) Unified Export Strategy Development(March) Performance Measure Development(November – December) Forecasts Updated (February – March) Tactical Planning & Budgeting(January – February)

  19. Process is Complementary to Beef and Pork Planning Cycles • While the process just outlined is timed to coincide with USDA’s timetable for MAP and FMD funding, the process is very complementary to industry planning processes for both beef and pork checkoffs. • The process positions USMEF to assist the Beef Joint Int’l Markets Committee in setting program priorities each January and to work with various leadership and budget committees each Spring. • Enables USMEF to bring preliminary program and budget recommendations to the NPB Int’l Trade Committee each Feb/March and to support other leadership and plan of work committees during annual program planning.

  20. What’s Ahead for Today? • Int’l staff will present brief overviews of markets and outline proposed strategies for going forward. • Asia Pacific • Europe, Russia and Middle East • Western Hemisphere • Panels consisting of beef, pork and exporter representatives to lead Q&A sessions. • Committee discussion of strategies. • Endorsement to proceed with planning along lines presented or as revised. • “Active participation” is essential to setting the future direction of programs.
