LAKEWOOD, Colo.—State agriculture officials say Colorado beef and beef variety meat exports rose 81 percent in the first half of 2008 from the same period last year to reach $241 million, the highest level on record.
About 98 percent of those exports went to Mexico, Canada and Japan.
The Colorado Department of Agriculture says the state ranks second in the U.S. for exports of beef and beef variety meats. It says Colorado is the top supplier to Canada, the No. 2 supplier to Mexico and the No. 3 supplier to Japan.
