Mexico: Livestock and Products Semi-annual
Mexico’s livestock industry is set to continue its growth in 2019 with increasing production and efforts to seek out new export markets. Rising consumption of pork is driving expansion of Mexico’s pork sector, with the domestic industry investing in expansion and vertical integration efforts to meet rising demand. While higher levels of imports help fill the gap between production and demand, Mexico is increasing its pork exports by seeking out new international markets. However, the elimination of government support programs under the new Mexican Presidential Administration has created uncertainty in the industry. Mexican livestock producers are concerned that the lack of government support could undo recent gains in the sector.
