U.S. pork exports continued to build momentum in October, led by a record performance in leading market Mexico, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF). While beef exports remained lower year-over-year, USMEF President and CEO Dan Halstrom said shipments rebounded to some degree in October, posting the largest totals since June.
October beef exports increased year-over-year to Japan, Taiwan, Canada, the ASEAN region and the Dominican Republic, while also jumping sharply to Colombia. But Halstrom said these gains were more than offset by lack of access to China, which has reduced exports to minimal volumes for the past several months.
