The United States exported a record $2.6 billion of pork to Mexico in 2024. Mexican demand for U.S. pork has continued to expand in 2025, growing 11% in the first quarter.

According to U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) Mexico Director Gerardo Rodriguez, pork consumption has grown more than 50% over the past 15 years. USMEF works to continue building that demand by developing new products for convenience stores and foodservice.

The growth in pork demand, however, has attracted new competition in the market, with all eligible suppliers having zero-duty access. This makes preserving the duty-free status of U.S. pork all the more important.
