Iowa Quality Beef Supply Cooperative meatpacking plant in Tama, Iowa, has been closed for awhile. But now an investors group from the Middle Eastern country of Qatar is in negotiations o buy the closed plant. Government statistics show the U.S. exported nearly $80 million in beef in the Middle East in 2003. Co-op members also said there is a high demand for high quality beef in Islamic countries. If the plant would re-open it would certainly be a very positive thing for the industry.
