MEXICO - Between January and August 2012, Mexico exported 157 million tonnes of meat to 26 countries, representing a nine per cent increase compared to the same period in 2011.

An improvement in Mexico's infrastructure is behind the increase in international sales.

Other export destinations included Korea, Belgium, Holland, Angola, Guatemala, France, Switzerland, El Salvador, Hong Kong, Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, Canada, Germany, Panama, Congo, Argentina, Ghana, Vietnam, Egypt, China, Benin and Togo.

The main exporting region of Mexico is Sonora, which exported 37 million tonnes.
