Pork production in China increased significantly in 2021

China's populations of live pigs and breeding sows increased steadily during the first quarter of the year.

China's pork production is expected to increase 5% and imports to decline.

Rising feed demand coupled with limited availability and higher prices for protein-rich substitutes is expected to increase China’s soybean imports to a record high in marketing year 22/23.

In its latest plan to advance the agriculture industry, China lays out targets for meat and pork production.

China announced the ban on pork due to ASF outbreaks in Italy and North Macedonia.

Here's how China's feed industry is growing to meet the increasing demand for pig feed in the wake of ASF.

After years of increases, China reduced its pork imports by 15% in 2021.

Starting next year, China's import tariffs for pork will return to their previously higher levels.

This recognition will allow for continued exports to China of pork products from ASF-free zones in the event the disease is present in France.

China has published statistics for the country's total sown area, yield, and total grain output in 2021.
