“Value of Pork Exports” Study Underscores Significance Of USMEF Efforts
The role and importance of U.S. pork exports to U.S. producers, and an analysis of how specific cuts of U.S. pork are valued internationally, were objectives of a “Value of Pork Exports” study conducted by the U.S .Meat Export Federation (USMEF).
The study estimated total export premiums for 2004 were $270.6 million. It found the items generating the largest premiums for U.S. producers were belly with a volume of 61,000 metric tons (mt), loin at 129,485 mt, butt at 40,428 mt, tenderloin at 25,138 mt and picnic at 168,855 mt. Premiums for these five cuts represented 74 percent of the total export premium generated in 2004.
Additional details of the study will be presented during the USMEF Board of Directors meeting May 24-26 in Las Vegas, Nev.
