U.S. poultry exports through the third quarter of 2012 set a new year-on-year record in value, while export quantity was slightly less than the record set in 2008, according to trade data released by the Foreign Agricultural Service.
U.S. poultry meat exports for January through September reached 3.04 million metric tons valued at $4.032 billion, up 6.3 percent and 13.8 percent year on year, respectively, from the same period in 2011. Exports of broiler meat (excluding chicken paws) for September were 279,279 metric tons, down 3.3 percent from the same month in 2011, while export value reached $355.1 million, up 4.2 percent, according to the Foreign Agricultural Service report. The decline in broiler shipments in September 2012 is largely because of decreased shipments to Hong Kong, Russia and Angola. Increased shipments to other markets, however, including Mexico, Canada, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Taiwan and the Philippines, helped to bolster the total.
Cumulative broiler meat (excluding paws) exports through the third quarter of 2012 were 2.45 million metric tons valued at $3.087 billion, up 5.9 percent and 17.8 percent, respectively, from the same period in 2011, according to the report.
