Mexico: Livestock and Products Semi-annual
The livestock and red meat industry in Mexico continues to grow. Cattle herd rebuilding is being slowly realized, while live cattle exports (primarily to the United States), have leveled off. Federally inspected facilities for red meat production are expanding, and Mexico has intensified a long-term trend to diversify both imports and exports of red meat. Meanwhile, the swine/pork sector is consolidating, and vertical integration is happening on commercial farms.
