US pork exports to Colombia hit second-highest monthly record PRV restrictions lifted after brief impact on offal shipmentsUS pork exports to Colombia have pulled back in recent months but rebounded impressively in May, posting the second largest monthly volume and value on record, according to the most recent market report from the US Meat Export Federation. Shipments totalled 14,397 mt, up 14% from a year ago, while value increased 19% to $41.5 million. Through the first five months of the year, exports to Colombia were 5% below last year’s pace in both volume (54,859 mt) and value ($158.3 million). Colombia also imposed PRV-related restrictions on pork offal, similar to those in Mexico, but they came later in May and it is a relatively small market for pork variety meats. The restrictions mainly impacted exports of jowls and further processed products, and Colombian regulators recently published a resolution removing them.
