The European Union followed with US$75 million and 7,000 tons, almost doubling the previous year's exports (+78%), and China was displaced to third place among the main markets despite a 23% increase in imports compared to May 2024, with US$62 million and 13,000 tons.

Placements to the United Kingdom, Brazil, Switzerland, Canada, Israel, and Japan were also notable.

China currently holds second place in the annualized total, with US$259 million, down 6% from January-May 2024, and another US$90 million in meat by-products, up 39% year-on-year.
