By: Another strong performance in the Dominican Republic and robust growth in Cuba pushed November pork exports from the United States to the Caribbean to 12,947 mt, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the US Meat Export Federation (USMEF).
Shipment volumes up 2% from a year ago and valued at $39.3 million (up 1%).
Through November, exports to the region increased 5% to 116,849 mt, while value climbed 8% to $347.1 million. December exports will likely push 2024 exports past the annual records (121,652 mt valued at $354.8 million) set in 2023.
This will be achieved despite heightened competition in the DR from Brazilian pork.
