Mexico: Livestock and Products Semi-annual
Government programs are successfully contributing to rebuild the herd while live cattle exports continue historical trends. Despite slower liquidation, which restrains slaughter, beef production is expected marginally up. High prices and a strong U.S. dollar are suppressing Mexican demand for imported beef. Increased productivity on improved genetics and enlargement of breeding swine herd will help to overcome Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) aftereffects. Even with increased production, Mexico will keep importing hams and picnics as well as mechanically deboned meat (MDM).
