US pork exports on pace for annual record – USMEF

September exports of US pork were higher year-over-year, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the US Meat Export Federation (USMEF), with pork exports well-positioned to set annual volume and value records in 2024.

September pork exports totalled 238,047 metric tons (mt), up 8% from a year ago, while value increased 6% to $685.1 million. Through the first three quarters of the year, pork exports were 5% above last year’s pace at 2.23 million mt, with value up 7% to $6.36 billion.

“US pork’s September performance was especially encouraging because growth was mainly driven by small and medium-sized markets in Central America, Southeast Asia and Oceania, and pork exports to Colombia continue to reach new heights,” said USMEF president and CEO Dan Halstrom.

“It was certainly another robust month for pork exports to Mexico and shipments to Japan were above last year,” he added. “But the broad-based growth reflects the US industry’s strong commitment to market diversification.”
