On a year-over-year basis, November exports were up 4% in volume and 17% in value from the figures recorded in November 2010.
USMEF said this boosted the January-November beef export total by 22% compared to 2010, reaching almost 1.2 million tonnes. The increase in value for those first eleven months was up by 35% compared to the year before, reaching more than $4.9 billion.
“When December results become available, beef export value will eclipse the $5 billion mark for the first time ever,” USMEF said.
