Despite trying times, pig exports continue

Despite trying times in the global hog industry, Canadian purebred hogs continue to have export customers.

Carla Dusick, executive director of the Canadian Swine Export Association, said there have been orders from South Korea.


“Most of the rest of Asia is suffering from negative margins which limits buying.


"We have had some orders to Taiwan, Thailand and Viet Nam.

 

“There is limited activity in Mexico and Central America and next to no activity to Europe.”


There is a steady business from buyers in the United States, but that is also down from the usual demand.
