21-Jul-2009 (16 years 10 months 17 days ago)The second quarter of 2009 ended with both pork production and hog and pork prices below a year ago, which strongly suggests lower product demand. Lower production and lower prices are expected to persist for the balance of this year.
Pork exports in May were almost 307 million pounds, 36 percent below May 2008. It is likely that May exports—particularly to Mexico and Russia—did not register the full negative impacts of H1N1-related slow-down in demand for U.S. pork.
