U.S. beef exports rose 4% year-over-year in August driven by strong demand in Taiwan and South Korea, while pork exports declined 6% primarily due to decreased shipments to Mexico. Beef faces ongoing trade barriers in China, and pork shows the importance of diversifying markets as Mexico demand softens.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You should shift your customer focus away from Mexico for pork and consider expanding into growing markets like Colombia and Central America. The China beef market remains restricted, so rely on Asia-Pacific demand while technical and tariff barriers persist.
