# Beef and Pork Exports Updates

> September U.S. beef exports rose 1% year over year to more than 81,000 metric tons, and export value increased 8% to over $712 million, with strong demand from Taiwan and gains in other markets. Pork exports fell 7.5% to just over 216,000 metric tons, while their value declined 13.5%, as lower sales to Mexico and China outweighed gains in several Central American and Caribbean markets.

## Why it matters

Stronger beef export value supports demand for U.S. beef, while declining pork shipments and value add pressure to the U.S. pork market. Continued competition and weaker sales in key destinations may limit export demand.
