According to NPA, fresh and frozen pork shipments were up 31% on a year earlier, at 21,200 tonnes during the month, the highest figure for May based on records going back to 1997.
Average export prices were also a little higher, so export value was up by just over a third, at £31.5 million. The growth was driven by shipments to China, which more than doubled compared to a year earlier, at 7,200 tonnes, as China buys up more pork globally to fill the gap created by its African swine fever outbreak.
