2021 was a record year for beef exports in terms of volume and value, and a record value year for pork. The head of the US Meat Export Federation says that’s good news for US producers.
Beef exports surpassed $10 billion in value for the first time last year and president and CEO Dan Halstrom says investments in demand return significant value back to producers, especially on the beef side. “For the year, we came in at roughly $407 per fed steer, per head,” he says.
