Record values 📈

UK red meat exports have reached a record value. So far this year, they have not only surpassed pre-pandemic levels but reached record levels.

• Up until the first semester of 2021, exports of red meat were soaring, but then they dropped due to the impact of Brexit and COVID-19.
• From January to June, almost 314,000 tonnes of beef, lamb, and pork were shipped to export markets around the world – up from 268,543 tonnes during the same period last year. 

As for pork, in particular, export volumes increased even though value fell.
