Record pork export pace continues in November
Posted Jan. 16, 2012

U.S. pork exports set another monthly volume record in November, which helped offset record-high production and provide a significant boost to pork cutout values, according to statistics released Jan. 13 by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF),

Exports totaled 217,080 metric tons valued at $597.85 million – up 22.5 percent and 35 percent, respectively, over November 2010. This boosted the January-November volume total to 2.04 million metric tons (up 18 percent year-over-year) and the value total to $5.526 billion (up 27 percent). This puts U.S. pork export value, which had never reached $5 billion before this year, on pace to approach the $6 billion mark in 2011.
