Mixed results in Aussie red meat exports
Mixed export results have emerged between proteins for the month of October, with mutton and goat lifting at the expense of beef and lamb. Mutton and goat increased by 3% and 4%, respectively, largely driven by the US and Canada, with mutton exports achieving 14,403 tonnes swt for the month. Beef in October achieved a total of 74,333 tonnes swt, down 6% from September levels. Lamb declined 10% to 19,726 tonnes swt, the lowest level since January this year, according to Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA).
Dwindling lamb slaughter volumes in October contributed to the demise, along with processor disruptions and a delayed spring flush, despite numbers lifting by 23% since September. October levels in 2020 and 2019 reached 24,152 and 26,383 tonnes, respectively. October is typically the largest or second-largest month for Australian lamb exports, highlighting the significance of recent figures.
