US February pork exports remain robust – USMEF
Fuelled by growth in the Western Hemisphere, South Korea and Australia, US pork exports posted another excellent performance in February, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the US Meat Export Federation (USMEF).
February pork exports increased 14% from a year ago to 250,930 metric tons (mt), while value jumped 15% to $685.1 million. Through the first two months of 2024, exports increased 10% in both volume (502,354 mt) and value ($1.37 billion).
“Coming off a record value year, it’s great to see broad-based momentum for pork exports continue globally into 2024,” said USMEF President and CEO Dan Halstrom. “While Mexico is certainly at the forefront, we are seeing excellent growth in markets like Colombia, Chile, El Salvador and the Caribbean, and demand has rebounded impressively in Korea and Australia.”
