US pork exports to Mexico stay strong – USMEF

March was another spectacular month for US pork exports to Mexico, which increased 14% from a year ago to 96,723 mt, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the US Meat Export Federation (USMEF).
Export value soared 19% to $213.1 million – the ninth consecutive month that value has exceeded $200 million. Through the first quarter, pork exports to Mexico topped last year’s record pace by 5% at 294,403 mt, with value climbing 11% to $637.7 million.

While trade relations with Mexico have been relatively stable in 2025, USMEF is closely monitoring the US Commerce Department’s plan to impose a 21% antidumping duty on tomatoes imported from Mexico, effective July 14. Mexico has not published a retaliation list, but US pork has been mentioned as a potential target.
Fuelled by monthly records for Honduras and Guatemala, March pork exports to Central America increased 21% from a year ago to 16,493 mt, while value increased 22% to $51.8 million. First-quarter shipments to the region were 20% above last year’s record pace at 45,167 mt, valued at $141.7 million (up 23%). First-quarter exports established a record volume pace to Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
