By CnAgri2013-08-08 11:22:32 Print China’s pork imports registered 272,300 MT in the first half of 2013, a slight drop of 0.14% on the year-on-year basis.
 
Of China’s total pork imports, the share of US pork shrank from 36% in the first half of 2012 to only 18% in the first half of this year, because the Chinese quarantine department started to require US pork suppliers to submit a ractopamine residue report from this year on. Germany was the largest pork supplier to China in the first half of this year, holding 23% of the market.
