According to AHDB Pork, Exports of German fresh/frozen pork fell for the third consecutive year in 2017, falling 3% on 2016, to 1.8 million tonnes.
The decline was largely a result of decreased shipments to China, which fell 40%, to 168,000 tonnes in 2017.
Countering the drop in Chinese trade, was an increase in deliveries of German pork to other non-EU countries. Most notably, there was a 22% increase in exports to South Korea, totalling 95,000 tonnes. There were also increases in exports to the Philippines, Japan and Hong Kong.
