US pork exports to Oceania hit record highs amid growing demand – USMEF
US pork exports to Oceania experienced significant growth in 2024, with a 29% increase compared to the previous year, reaching 102,747 metric tons (mt), according to year-end data released by USDA and compiled by the US Meat Export Federation (USMEF).
This marks the largest export volume since 2019 and the second-largest on record. The export value also saw a remarkable rise, climbing 32% to a record $374.8 million.
Despite limited market access for US pork in Oceania, the region remains an important destination for US raw materials used in further processing, as well as for processed pork products. Notably, New Zealand has shown a growing demand for US pork ribs, contributing to the upward trend in exports.
Overall, these figures highlight the strong and expanding presence of US pork in the Oceania market, underscoring its role as a key supplier to the region.
Further development of the grain sector in the Black Sea and Danube region will be discussed at the 23 International Conference BLACK SEA GRAIN.KYIV on April 24 in Kyiv.
