Exceptionally high EU exports of pig meat Jan-Oct 2020

Driven by trade to China, the EU exported 36% more pig meat in the first 10 months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

On a year over year basis, the highest increases in export values for EU agri-food products (January-October 2020 compared to January-October 2019) continued to be recorded in trade with China. This was driven by a more than double increase in EU27 export values of pig meat (+€2 529 m, +120%), despite the African Swine Fever cases in some EU Member States.

Looking at product categories, the increase in export values (Jan-Oct 2020 compared to Jan-Oct 2019) was driven by continued exceptionally high exports of pig meat (+€2 170 m, +36%) - principally to China with a clear shift in EU origin depending on sanitary trade restrictions.

Other product categories that displayed solid growth rates include wheat (+€1 439 m, +32%), pet food (+€399 m, +9%), rapeseed and sunflower oils (+€338 m, +15%) and coarse grains (+€296 m, +16%).
