The U.S. Meat Export Federation Monday said Pork exports were down three percent year-over-year in volume to just over 177,000 metric tons, and fell 21 percent in value to $447.8 million, reflecting lower global pork prices.Through the first 10 months of the year, exports were down four percent in volume and were 17 percent lower in value. October beef exports rebounded to some degree from their low September totals, but were still down 14 percent from a year ago in volume at 94,000 some metric tons and fell 26 percent in value to $508.2 million compared to the record-high value posted in October 2014 of $687.1 million.
