Exports of beef from the US in September 2025 were the lowest the industry has recorded in more than five years.

Reports of the figures for September were delayed by the US government shutdown. When the numbers came out in mid-December, they showed that exports of beef for the month reached 80,835 tonnes in volume. The US Meat Export Federation (USMEF) said this represented a fall of 22% year on year and was the lowest monthly total since June 2020.
