The U-S Meat Export Federation released the October export numbers and pork reached a 16-month high. Courtney Knupp, vice president of international market development with the National Pork Board says they are excited about the released data that shows pork’s value increased 13 percent at $697.3 million. Mexico still leads the list for pork exports, but Knupp says demand is building in other countries like South Korea. The non-muscle cuts, often called variety meats, continue to have strong demand in the export market, adding value to U-S pork for products not consumed in the U-S. According to U-S Meat Export Federation, total U-S pork exports through October was valued at $6.3 billion, which is down eight percent year-over-year.
