Beef export struggle in recent weeks. Pork sales rebound.

Weekly beef export sales came to 13,383 tonnes last week. This was -37% vs. last year. Year to date sales are -7% vs. last year. Sales are on USDA's current goal of -7%. However, it must be noted the recent trend of -37%, -26% the week before and -16% the week before are lightly concerning.

Pork exports were noted at 30,186 tonnes, +18% vs. the prior year. This continues a positive story for now five weeks. Year to date sales are +3% vs. last year. This is still behind USDA's whole-year goal of +8%.
