In total, last year the value of the exports reached €19.95 million, and this entails multiplying almost by five the invoicing with respect to the €43.2 million in 2007.

Regarding the sales by the type of product, they are led by cured hams and forelegs, that entailed 67.7% of the total pork exports, with 1,319 tonnes with a value of €15.2 million. The data available place Spain as the main provider of these products to Mexico. Cured hams and forelegs are followed by cured and cooked cold meats, with 435 tonnes that total €3.1 million; processed products and tinned pork, that reach 105 tonnes and €939,000; and fresh, refrigerated or frozen pork, that add up 73 tonnes and €408,000.
