U.S. pork exports to Chile have rebounded in 2023. Through April, shipments increased 30% from a year ago to just over 4,000 metric tons.
Sebastian Gré, a professional chef who serves as the U.S. Meat Export Federation’s (USMEF) program coordinator in Chile, recently updated pork industry leaders on promotional efforts that are advancing U.S. pork’s presence in the Chilean retail and foodservice sectors. He highlighted a retail campaign that is bolstering sales of bacon-wrapped U.S. pork loin in the Lider and Tottus supermarket chains, as well as some small retail meat shops.
Gré also discussed the showcasing of U.S. pork spareribs at Curacaribs, a well-known Chilean smokehouse restaurant with an impressive following on social media.
Promotions of U.S. pork in Chile are made possible through support from the National Pork Board and USDA’s Market Access Program.
