New figures released by the US Meat Export Federation (USMEF) show that beef exports to several major destinations declined in January.

Volumes fell by 15% overall to just over 100,000 tonnes, but in terms of value, which was just over $700 million, the decline was 32% year on year.

“While beef exports are off to a slow start in 2023, we remain optimistic that post-covid foodservice demand will strengthen as the year progresses,” USMEF chief executive, Dan Halstrom, said.
