United States beef exports are on pace to set another record in 2021, despite continued shipping issues. John Hinners with the U.S. Meat Export Federation says the beef exports have stacked up five months of record volume and value and so they’re expecting another banner year.
He says the demand for U.S. beef is coming from both traditional and new markets.
Hinners says what makes this all the more impressive is the record beef exports have come despite COVID and ongoing shipping container shortages.
He says variety meats make up nearly $1 billion of the annual export total and beef exports add around $350 of value to the beef carcass.
