August beef exports totaled 133,832 metric tons, an increase of 1 percent year-over-year and the second-largest volume on record – trailing only May 2022. Export value was about $1.04 billion, slightly less than the then-record total achieved in August 2021 – which was the first time monthly exports topped the $1 billion mark.

According to data released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation, beef exports in August 2022 were slightly more than August 2021’s large volume -- and again topped $1 billion in value, reaching that milestone in seven out of eight months this year.
