U.S. exports of meat, poultry, and related products (End-Use 00300) totaled $2.1B in April 2026, traded with 155 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataUS exports of beef, pork, poultry, and processed meat products are among the most tightly regulated agricultural trade flows, requiring USDA FSIS certification that each shipment originates from an inspected and approved establishment. Destination-country eligibility is a critical constraint: many markets maintain their own lists of approved US plants, and a single food-safety incident can trigger suspension of a facility's export privileges. Variety meats and offal — often lower-value domestically — can represent high-value export opportunities in markets where those cuts are culturally preferred. Exporters must also navigate destination-country veterinary health certificate requirements, which vary significantly by species and market.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
FSIS issues export health certificates verifying that shipments meet both US inspection standards and the specific requirements of the destination country; the exporting establishment must be on FSIS's list of eligible plants for that market, and certificates must accompany each shipment to clear foreign customs.
Domestic US demand for items like beef tongue, pork feet, and chicken feet is relatively limited, keeping domestic prices low; however, these cuts command premium prices in markets across Asia, Latin America, and parts of Europe where they are culinary staples, making export a key outlet for maximizing carcass value.
