Mexico: Livestock and Products Semi-annual
Mexico’s beef and pork production are revised higher due to strong market incentives that are promoting higher than expected slaughter. Beef imports are revised lower and exports higher. Cattle exports are lowered. The rate of decline in Mexico’s cattle herd will stabilize in 2015. Pork imports are maintained in 2015 but raised for 2014, while exports for both years are seen lower. Pork consumption will continue to outpace beef.
