In the first eight months of this year, Chinese imports of pork and offal reached 1.96 million tons (Mt). While this is 9.5% higher than the same period last year (1.79 Mt), it is far from the 3.83 Mt imported from January-August 2020.
While monthly offal imports this year have remained more or less stable (between 90,000 t and 110,000 t per month) pork imports have progressed downward from 220,000 t in January to half that in August (110,000 t), the lowest monthly value since 2019.
