Slaughtered hogs in China were up 27.4 per cent at year-on-year in 2021, a total of 671.28 million head.
Total output of pork, beef, mutton and poultry in 2021 was 88.87 million tons, up by 16.3 per cent from 2020.
I expect China will find some excuse to block pork from Canada, but probably not the United States because of a special trade deal that commits China to buying its agricultural products.
