Export Statistics

USMEF compiles trade statistics from monthly data reported by USDA/FAS and collected by the U.S. Department of Commerce. USMEF includes beef and pork muscle cuts, processed products and variety meat or offals in the trade statistics. Hides and other rendered or inedible products are not included in the data reported by USMEF.

USMEF’s monthly export statistics refer to both muscle cuts and variety meat, unless otherwise noted. Complete historical export data for U.S. pork, beef and lamb are located under the “Monthly Export Archive” tab. Highlights from the latest monthly export data released are located under the “Latest Export Results” tab.

USMEF also provides highlights from the weekly data reported through USDA/FAS’s Export Sales Reporting Program for beef and pork. This data only includes reported exports of boxed muscle cuts (including three or six piece carcasses) and does not include variety meats, further processed products or trim.

Beef net sales for 2025 delivery were just 3,860 MT, down 56% from the previous week and 67% below the previous four-week average. This was due in part to corrections that resulted in negative net sales to Korea (-1,840 MT), the Philippines (-40 MT) and Vietnam (-20 MT). Sales were higher to Taiwan (1,390 MT, +7%) and positive sales were reported to China (145 MT) for the second week following a week of corrections.

Export is defined as an actual shipment from the U.S. to a foreign country.
Export sale is defined as a transaction entered into between a reporting exporter and a foreign buyer. Sales can be cancelled or adjusted in following weeks, thus “net” sales are reported as the difference between new sales and any cancellations or adjustments.
Due to the lapse in federal funding, a combined report was released for the six weeks from Jan. 10-Feb. 14, 2019. Averages are used for the weekly exports and weekly net sales for those weeks.
