Red meat exports from the UK surpassed €1.3 billion in 2017
In 2017, exports of beef, lamb and pork exceeded £1 billion between January and December last year. All three sectors managed to exceed the £1.2 billion mark as a result of a rise of 2% in red meat offal exports.
UK's red meat export to non-EU countries continue to be strong in 2017. Beef exports to third countries reached 14,300 tons in 2017, increasing by almost a fifth, which led to a rise in value to £409 million (€459 million), as reported by Farming UK.
Furthermore, there was an increase of 230% in volume of high-value, chilled beef sold to Hong Kong in 2017, the Asian market representing a key focus for UK's meat exports.
Meantime, UK's pork exports were up by 4.8% in 2017 compared to the previous year, reaching a volume of 216,000 tons worth £293 million (€329 million). Sales of pork increased both in the EU and non-EU markets.
