04-May-2021ewjThe price of pork and live hogs in China can be modulated by opening and closing the "Import window" for imported pork. They euphemistically call imports of pork "Release of frozen pork from reserve supply" to modulate the consumer pork price. It's like the flapper valve in the throttle on a motor. If you cranked it wide open, the Chinese market would suck pork out of the rest of the world at a vacuum at the rate of transport until the local pig industry in China was virtually destroyed, because with their inefficient management, high disease pressure, and high ingredient costs, they do require trade protection to survive.

We are submerged in the pandemic. Who deserves some medals?
The price of pork in Spain is well above that of Europe. With a weekly slaughter of 1,000,000 head, how will coronavirus affect slaughterhouse workers or reduce purchasing from the hotel and catering industry?
