# Mexican livestock producers ask government to reject expansion of duty-free meat import quotas for 2027

> Mexican livestock organizations asked the finance and economy ministries to reject a proposal from the Mexican Meat Council to raise the 2027 duty-free beef import quota from 70,000 to 150,000 tonnes and the pork quota from 51,000 to 100,000 tonnes. Producers say no product-level shortage has been shown, and Mexico exported 240,774 tonnes of beef and imported 179,844 tonnes from January to September 2026.

## Why it matters

Larger duty-free meat imports would add supply to Mexico's domestic cattle and hog markets, which could pressure domestic livestock prices and reduce feed demand if producers cut herds.
