Mexico grants access to British pork offal imports

Mexico has granted market access to British pork offal, which could generate an estimated £18 million over the next five years.

Mexico, which opened its market to British pork for the first time two years ago, has now granted market access to British pork offal. The move follows a commercial inward mission last year where AHDB hosted buyers from Mexico who met with farmers and processors and learned more about the UK's high-quality meat production. This new approval will see the market opened for a range of offal products ahead of a wider audit visit in the summer.

Mexico is one of the biggest pork importers in the world. Pork is the second most consumed meat in Mexico, which consumes more pork than it is able to produce. Consumption increased by 4.7% per year from 2017 to 2022 and is expected to grow further over the next decade
