The United States Federation of Meat Exporters (USMEF) has reported stable performances in beef and pork exports, with a rebound in June, and an improvement in production in North American power countries. However, the growth in pork exports to China has moderated and not been as spectacular as expected. Despite this, the demand for American beef and pork is expected to remain strong throughout the year, with the USMEF being optimistic about the positive closure of US red meat exports in 2020. This is due to outstanding first quarter performance in US meat exports, trade agreements signed before the pandemic, and demand for pork from China and beef from Japan, Mexico, and Canada.
