Strength in the markets of South Korea, Canada, Mexico, and Hong Kong propelled egg exports. Table egg exports for the first eight months of this year reached an all-time high of 136.5 million dozen valued at $137.3 million.
Turkey exports for January through August this year increased 1.5% in volume and 12.4% in value, thanks largely to increased shipments to Mexico, Benin, South Africa, and Peru.
