U.S. beef exports saw their highest export value since June 2023, reaching $900 million in May, while pork exports trailed in both volume and value compared to a year ago, according to the U.S. Meat Export Federation.

The U.S. Meat Export Federation estimates pork volume exports rose in February by 11% to 219,729 metric tons, while value increased by 10%, compared to a year ago.
