flag Illinois pork producers visited South Korea to boost exports amid rising demand for U.S. pork and beef.

flag Illinois pork producers, led by Josh Maschhoff, visited South Korea to boost trade and strengthen relationships with key importers and retailers. flag The trip, supported by the U.S. Meat Export Federation and National Pork Board, focused on South Korea’s growing demand for U.S. pork muscle cuts—worth $422 million through July 2025—and home meal replacement products. flag Despite strong consumer preference for pork belly, supply constraints due to domestic bacon demand have led to innovations like smoked pork shoulder. flag Producers highlighted rising interest in high-quality U.S. pork and beef, favorable production conditions, and the importance of personal relationships in expanding exports.
