US - US pork exports were up 5.5 per cent in February compared to a year ago thanks to increased shipments to Mexico, China and Colombia. Imports of pork into the US were down 6.7 per cent in February due to less pork coming in from Canada. During February, pork exports equaled 22.75 per cent of production and imports equaled 3.45 per cent of production. The increase in exports is encouraging news given US pork prices are at record levels, write Ron Plain and Scott Brown.
