Mexico exported 210,325 tons of meat worth $937 million in 2011, up from the 149,136 tons exported the previous year, the secretariat said.
The improvement in exports was due “to the joint efforts of producers and the federal and state governments to maintain the health status that sets Mexico apart,” the secretariat said in a statement.
Japan became the top buyer of Mexican meat in 2011, importing 78,292 tons, followed by the United States, with 66,463 tons; Russia, with 28,541 tons; and South Korea, with 16,217 tons, the secretariat said.
Meat exports originated in 19 of Mexico’s 32 states, led by Sonora, Michoacan, Sinaloa, Yucatan, Jalisco, Baja California and Nuevo Leon, “whose health conditions have been fully certified by the authorities,” the secretariat said.
Mexico exports meat and meat byproducts to 33 countries in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia, with the leading markets being Japan, the United States, Russia and South Korea, the secretariat said.
Beef exports totaled $532 million, pork sales totaled $323 million, poultry exports totaled $16 million, sales of other types of meat totaled $34 million and sales of meat byproducts totaled $32 million. EFE
