USMEF: US lamb exports trend higher in 2024

For lamb muscle cuts, exports totaled 2,003 mt valued at $11.8 million, each down slightly from 2023. The Caribbean and Mexico are the two largest destinations for U.S. lamb muscle cuts, and exports to the Caribbean were up 14% to 976 mt, valued at $7.1 million (up 13%), fueled in part by a doubling of shipments to the Bahamas. Exports to Mexico were the highest since 2019 at 759 mt, up 21% year-over-year as a wider range of cuts - including shoulder and flap meat - gained traction in Mexico’s foodservice sector. Export value to Mexico jumped 20% to $2.4 million. Lamb muscle cut exports also increased year-over-year to Guatemala, but trended lower to Canada and Panama.
