CoBank reports US pork production is modestly above year-ago levels while domestic demand has weakened, with the retail pork demand index at its lowest since 2020 ahead of grilling season. USDA's Economic Research Service expects 2026 pork exports of 7.2 billion pounds, 2.9% above 2025, though shipments to Mexico slowed after pseudorabies-related restrictions on Iowa and Texas pork.
Weak domestic pork demand makes export outlets critical for clearing supply, and higher corn prices are raising feed costs for hog producers, which can pressure lean hog margins and prices.
