November export numbers from the USDA show pork was once again immensely positive for global demand for U-S both in the volume and value. Courtney Knupp, vice president of international marketing for the National Pork Board, said after a slower start to 2022, they are thrilled with the numbers just released and emphasized value per head. The investment pork producers make is adding value to the carcass and NBP focuses on the increase in value over time. Knupp said the Checkoff investment and the member sectors get matched by the USDA market access program. Pork exports reached 245,663 metric tons in November, up three percent from a year ago, while export value climbed ten percent to $725.1 million dollars. In both volume and value, exports were the highest since May of 2021. Visit porkcheckoff.org for more insights on export data.
