By: Colombia’s demand for US pork reached new heights in 2024, according to year-end data released by USDA and compiled by the US Meat Export Federation (USMEF).
Exports soared 26% to 142,035 mt, far exceeding the previous record (106,456 mt) reached in 2021.
Export value jumped 32% to just under $360 million, shattering the previous (2023) high of $272 million.
Shipments to Colombia were more than six times larger than in 2012, the year the US-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement took effect, as US pork has penetrated the retail and foodservice sectors, along with further processing, with further room for growth.
