US pork exports to China remained stable in July despite duties
According to data published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF), despite the overall 57% tariff, U.S. pork shipments to China, which primarily consist of offal, remained stable at 36,461 metric tons in July last year.
The increased tariff (which stood at 37% at this time last year) impacted the export value, which fell 13% to $77.6 million.
From January to July, exports to China were 16% lower than last year in volume (218,005 metric tons) and 17% lower in value ($513.3 million). This was primarily due to a sharp decline in exports in April and May, when U.S. pork was subject to prohibitively high tariffs.
