Dan Halstrom Discusses October Export Results on Agriculture of America

USMEF President and CEO Dan Halstrom joined Agriculture of America host Mike Pearson for a discussion of the October export results for U.S. pork and beef. Halstrom explains that October pork highlights included new value record for Mexico ($203.1 million) and strong growth to South Korea, the ASEAN and the Dominican Republic. Pork variety meat exports set a new value record at $126.2 million.

China/Hong Kong was the leading destination for U.S. beef in October, with export value topping $240 million. Export volume to Japan was steady with last year and shipments increased to South Korea, which was especially impressive considering the Japanese yen and Korean won slumped deeply in October. In the first 10 months of 2022, beef export value already topped $10 billion - reaching that milestone in a single year for only the second time.
