Sixteen years of U.S. meat export gains end
21/06/2002
Total calendar 2002 U.S. meat exports are forecast to fall year-to-year for the first time since 1985, the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) has advised.
This fall is primarily attributed to a pullback in poultry exports, which are currently forecast to drop 11 percent from the previous year’s record level. Total U.S. meat exports are anticipated to recover in 2003, but are still forecast slightly below the 2001 record level.
