US pork exports to leading market Mexico totalled 91,492 mt in September, up 3% from a year ago, though value edged slightly lower to $206.6 million, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the US Meat Export Federation (USMEF).

Exports to Mexico remained on a record pace through September, climbing 7% in volume (850,204 mt) and 12% in value ($1.89 billion).
