Approximately 35,274 ounces. One metric ton is 1,000,000 grams, and one avoirdupois ounce is about 28.3495 grams, so 1,000,000 divided by 28.3495 gives approximately 35,274.

Because the metric ton and the avoirdupois ounce belong to different measurement systems. The metric ton is defined exactly in grams, but the ounce is defined in the avoirdupois system as 1/16 of a pound (exactly 28.349523125 grams). The gram-to-ounce conversion introduces an irrational factor.

Approximately 2,205 sixteen-ounce (one-pound) products per metric ton. This is equivalent to saying one metric ton is about 2,205 pounds, which is the standard kilogram-to-pound conversion applied at scale.
Non-Frequently Asked Questions About Metric Tons to Ounces

The butcher would understand the request but would question your sanity. 35,274 ounces is one metric ton of steak - enough to fill a cargo van and feed a small town for a week. No retail butcher stocks that much meat. You would need to contact a wholesale distributor, and even they would want to know if you are opening a restaurant or planning a very ambitious barbecue.

Not particularly. It lacks the roundness of metric-to-metric conversions (which are always powers of ten) and the historical charm of Imperial-to-Imperial conversions (which are exact integers). Cross-system conversion factors like 35,274 are functional but forgettable - which is exactly why calculators and conversion tools exist.
