The trading increase, which was 10% up on 2015 levels, was achieved despite fluctuations in export volumes during the final quarter.
“At nearly 206,000 tonnes, the 2016 figure is the highest annual amount the UK has exported since 1999,” said AHDB Pork, adding that the annual increase was partly attributed to a 47% rise in shipments to China, an outlet which overtook Germany and Ireland in 2016 to become the UK’s largest market.
