US plants can start exporting pork to Malaysia
US president Donald Trump has signed trade deals with Malaysia and Cambodia, so that the United States can start exporting pork to both countries. Especially the Malaysia deal is expected to be of benefit for US pork producers.
The US National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) sent out a press release sharing that the deal with Malaysia would open access to all US facilities included in the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) Meat, Poultry and Egg Product Inspection Directory. In addition, the deal will not impose additional product or facility registration requirements; and will ensure acceptance of the standard FSIS export certificate.
In a separate deal, Cambodia agreed to the same terms.
In addition, Malaysia has agreed to recognise the US protection zone for African Swine Fever within 15 months of signing the deal and complete a regionalisation deal.
In 2024, US pork exports to Malaysia amounted to US$ 24.5 million, which is a substantial amount given that only 8 US plants are currently eligible for export. Exports to Malaysia have increased over 1,700% in the last 5 years, NPPC wrote.
