Following a record year of $2.6 billion of pork exports to Mexico in 2024, demand for U.S. pork has continued to expand in Mexico in 2025, growing 11% in the first quarter. According to U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) Mexico Director Gerardo Rodriguez, pork consumption has grown more than 50% over the past 15 years.
The growth in pork demand, however, has attracted new competition in the market, with all eligible suppliers having zero-duty access. Rodriguez said this makes preserving the duty-free status of U.S. pork all the more important.
