The U.S. Meat Export Federation says United States beef exports broke previous records in May. MEF President and CEO Dan Halstrom says beef saw broad based growth to various market destinations.
He says pork exports while not seeing record numbers, did see significant growth.
Halstrom says several factors drove the export growth for U.S. beef including strong demand for the product.
Halstrom says retail and E-Commerce demand pushed pork exports during May., as well as some countries like the Philippines still dealing with African Swine Fever.
