US pork exports to Taiwan nearly triple in early 2026
Rebound comes as trade deal awaits implementation
US pork exports to Taiwan rebounded in early 2026, albeit compared to last year’s low volumes, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the US Meat Export Federation (USMEF).
Through February, exports to Taiwan nearly tripled from a year ago in both volume (2,735 mt, up 175%) and value ($7 million, up 162%).
In February, the Trump administration announced the signing of a reciprocal trade agreement that will reduce tariffs and non-tariff barriers for US pork in Taiwan, but this agreement has not yet been implemented.
