US lamb exports up 58% in June

In June, US exports increased 58% in terms of volume to 1,016 metric tons and 26% in terms of value to $2.2 million.

The US Meat Export Federation says that these remarcable results pushed first-half export 46% ahead of last year's pace in volume to 5,471 metric tos and 17% higher in value at $11.3 million.

Stronger variety meat demand in Mexico accounted for much of this growth, but muscle cut exports trended higher to the Caribbean, the United Arab Emirates, Canada, Singapore, the Philippines and Taiwan.

Exports should receive an additional boost in the second half of the year from Japan, which reopened to U.S. lamb on July 11.
