Best Year Ever For Exports

December statistics released by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF), contractor to the Beef Checkoff Program, confirm that 2010 was the best year ever for U.S. beef export value! A final total of $4.08 billion breaks the pre-BSE high from 2003 of $3.86 billion by more than 5 percent and exceeds the 2009 total by nearly $1 billion. Total volume was 2.35 billion pounds, an increase of 19 percent over 2009.
