April U.S. beef exports top $1 billion

IARN — Data released by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) shows U.S. beef exports maintained an astounding pace in April, topping $1 billion for the third time this year, while the pork and lamb exports have a different story. April pork exports were well below the large totals posted a year ago, but those lamb exports are continuing to trend higher.

USMEF President and CEO Dan Halstrom talks about the April export numbers. He mentions the broad-spectrum markets in the beef, pork, and lamb industries, and what those growing markets look like.
