Jamaica: US Beef and Lamb Make the Cut in Montego Bay

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   JM2025-0009
In September 2025, FAS Jamaica reignited its marketing chops by teaming up with the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) to host its first promotional activity in more than four years, showcasing the quality, affordability, and flavor of under-utilized U.S. beef cuts and ground lamb. In 2024, U.S. beef and lamb exports to Jamaica accounted for $18 million. While Jamaica’s import demand for beef has favored premium cuts, such as ribeyes and tenderloins, the promotional event spotlighted more value-friendly, lesser-known beef cuts to broaden market interest.
