  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   MX2025-0035
The suspension of live cattle exports to the United States due to New World Screwworm is expected to redirect animals to domestic feedlots; cattle slaughter is projected to increase in 2026. Higher domestic beef production will likely enable a growth in exports to the United States and Japan. Rising demand for both beef and pork is expected, driven by population growth and expanding commercial consumption.
