Exports of U.S. pork bounced back in June, finishing the first half of 2025 on a high note, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) and detailed in this report by USMEF President and CEO Dan Halstrom. Beef export volume was the lowest in five years, due in part to China’s failure to renew registrations for the vast majority of U.S. plants. June pork exports totaled 239,304 metric tons (mt), up 7% from a year ago, while value increased 3.5% to $682.6 million. Export value to Mexico was the second highest on record at nearly $250 million, with shipments to Mexico, Central America and Colombia remaining on a record pace. June exports also increased year-over-year to the Caribbean and Vietnam. Pork variety meat exports increased 10% from a year ago, due in part to a rebound in shipments to China. For the first half of the year, pork exports were down 4% from last year’s record pace at 1.46 million mt. Export value was $4.11 billion, down 3.5% from a year ago but still the third highest first-half total on record. Beef exports totaled 93,928 mt in June, down 15% from a year ago and the lowest since June 2020. Export value was $769 million, down 18% and the lowest in 17 months. Shipments to Korea and Mexico were steady with year-ago levels, while exports increased sharply to Central and South America and variety meat demand strengthened in Egypt and in several emerging markets in Africa. But these gains did not fully offset the steep decline in exports to China and lower shipments to Japan. For January through June, beef exports were 6.5% below last year’s pace at 602,221 mt, while value fell 6% to $4.92 billion. Lack of access to China not only results directly in lost business and missed opportunities, but the U.S. beef industry is also losing the premiums generated when Chinese buyers compete for cuts that are especially popular throughout Asia, such as short plate, top blade, chuck rolls and short ribs. Without exports to China, USMEF estimates the U.S. beef industry’s lost opportunity at $150 to $165 per head of fed slaughter, or about $4 billion annually. While USMEF remains hopeful that access to China will be restored soon, the current situation highlights the importance of diversification and further development of emerging markets such as Central America and Southeast Asia. A detailed summary of the January-June export results for U.S. pork, beef and lamb, including market-specific highlights, is available from the USMEF website.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

EPISODE 78 DETAILS U.S.-China Tariff War Cripples Agricultural Exports as Industry Faces Major Setbacks Triple-Digit Tariffs Disrupt U.S. Beef, Poultry, and Pork Exports to China and Hong Kong Triple-digit tariff rates on goods traded between the United States and China have “effectively closed that market for U.S. exports,” according to a source quoted by Politico from the agriculture industry. Despite the sharp decline in imports, China still purchased $25 billion worth of U.S. food and agricultural products last year. “Making up for that around the world is going to be very challenging,” the source emphasized. The Trump administration recently imposed new tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese goods, compounding already substantial levies. In response, China retaliated with tariffs reaching 125% on U.S. exports. Since early March, U.S. beef exports to China have come to a near standstill following Beijing's declaration that U.S. export licenses were no longer valid. Even before the full retaliation in early April, U.S. chicken exports to China dropped by 48% in February compared to the same month last year. In 2024, China and Hong Kong together accounted for $525 million in U.S. poultry meat and products (excluding eggs), ranking as the third-largest export market behind Mexico and Canada. Beef exports reached nearly $2 billion, just behind South Korea, while pork exports to the region surpassed $1.1 billion, trailing only Mexico and Japan.
