World pork production and trade

Introduction: from a global perspective, as the world pork production increased by 1.4%, 2000 is a very favorable year for pork trade According to the statistics of FAO, pork is the most consumed meat in the world in 2000, accounting for 39% of the total meat consumption Among the factors contributing to this development, the following are particularly prominent: Canada's export growth, which overtook Denmark and the United States in 1998 as the world's largest pork exporter The elimination of EU subsidies to the pig industry led to a decline in exports in 2000 and is expected to continue to decline in 2001 The outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Taiwan has seriously affected its production and export capacity since 1996 Similar incidents broke out in South Korea in 2000, hindering pork exports and increasing domestic supply, thus reducing imports According to FAO statistics, world pork production has increased by 15.9% in the past five years, from 78.5 million tons in 1996 to 91 million tons in 2000 China is the largest producer and has maintained the momentum of growth in recent years During 1996-2000, the output increased from 31.6 million tons to 41.6 million tons, an increase of 31.7% The EU is the second largest producer in the world, with a peak output of 17.9 million tons in 1999 and a decline in production in 2000, which may be maintained in 2001 The United States is third, although production in 2000 decreased from 8.76 million tons in 1999 to 8.57 million tons, and it is expected that production in 2001 will return to its 1999 level During 1996-2001, Brazil's pork production continued to develop, surpassing Russia and Poland, ranking fourth among the world's producers In view of the difficulties encountered in 2000, such as the lack of feed in the domestic local market and the severe cold in winter, which resulted in a large number of piglet deaths in the southern states, this is a significant achievement It is necessary to mention the situation of pork production in Russia, which dropped from 1.7 million tons in 1996 to 1.51 million tons in 1998, and has been hovering at this level in the past three years It is expected that Russia will increase imports in 2001 to meet domestic demand, which is feasible, because Russia reduced the value-added tax on imported meat in July last year China, the largest consumer of pork, consumed 41.6 million tons of pork in 2000, which is still growing year by year and is expected to reach 43.3 million tons in 2001 The EU takes the second place with relatively stable consumption of 16 million tons per year, of which Germany accounts for 4.7 million tons In terms of per capita consumption, Denmark had the highest consumption in 2000, with 77.2kg per resident, followed by Spain (64.2kg), Czech Republic (60.6kg), Austria (57.7kg), Germany (57.3kg) and Brazil (11kg) In Brazil, the per capita consumption of pork, like other meats, has been developing in recent years This is because since 1994, the income redistribution after the implementation of the economic stability plan in Brazil has enabled low-income people to buy high protein food for the first time Japan, the largest importer of pork, is the largest importer, although the current import volume is not the highest in its history The highest import volume was 933000 tons in 1996 and 731000 tons in 1997, and it has been growing In 2000, it recovered to the previous level of 900000 tons It is expected that the import volume will continue to grow in 2001 The United States is the second largest importer, with an import volume of 453000 tons in 2000, equivalent to 80% of its export volume in that year At the same time, the import volume of the United States exceeded that of Russia, whose import volume last year (2000) decreased from 500000 tons to 300000 tons Due to the economic recovery and tariff reduction, Russia's imports are expected to increase to 400000 tons in 2001, and the imports of meat products from Hong Kong and China have grown steadily since 1996, reaching 264000 tons and 120000 tons respectively in 2000 Mexico (160000 tons imported in 1998), Belarus (142000 tons), Hungary (52000 tons), Poland and Romania (67000 tons) Canada (the largest exporter since 1999), the United States and Denmark constitute the largest export group of pork products in the world, while France, Brazil, China and Poland constitute the second export group Brazil would be the fourth largest exporter if the projected 2001 exports were confirmed Canada: its exports far exceeded the expectations of other producing countries Since 1999, it has become the largest exporter of pork products in the world Since 1999, when Canada overtook the United States and Denmark overnight, Canada has consolidated its global leadership and increased its share There has been a lot of controversy about the export volume of Canadian meat products Its own official export figures are considered to be underestimated by about 20% This situation occurred again in 1999 On the one hand, the Canadian government announced that the export volume in 1998 was 432 thousand tons, while the inspection agency of the country reported that it was 531 thousand tons According to the statistics of CPI, 71.3% of Canadian pork products exported in 1999 were fresh meat, chilled meat and frozen meat, 12.8% were processed products, 11.2% were by-products, 4.7% were lipid, 80% of Canadian meat products were exported to the following four countries: the United States accounted for 53.7% of Canadian exports, Japan (14.8%), Hong Kong / China (6.6%) , and Russia (4.7%) United States: exports decreased slightly in 2000, mainly due to reduced demand in Asian markets (Hong Kong / China, Taiwan Province, South Korea, Philippines and Malaysia), Central America and the European Union In 2000, exports to NAFTA member countries increased (by 56% in Mexico and 19% in Canada), in addition, exports to Japan increased by 4% and exports to Russia increased by 108% According to the statistics of USMEF, Japan accounts for 37% of US exports, Mexico 31.1%, Canada 9.5%, Hong Kong / China 5.7%, so these four importing countries account for 83.5% of US pork exports Denmark: in 2000, it was the third largest exporter in the world, with an export volume of 568000 tons (outside the European Union) Its main exports are divided meat (65.1%), by-products (12.4%), processed products (10.3%), Bacon (8.3%), pig bones (3.8%) The largest buyers of Danish meat products (excluding the EU) are Japan (201100 tons), Russia (95200 tons), South Korea (57400 tons) and the United States (53800 tons) Within the EU, Denmark exported 776000 tons last year, with Germany (213000 tons), Italy (106000 tons), France (82000 tons) and Sweden (38000 tons) as the main importers In 2000, the total number of live pigs in Brazil was 37.3 million, of which 2.33 million were high-yield varieties to ensure the quality of Brazilian meat products In 2000, Brazil's pork food industry maintained its growth rate since 1998 In 1998, it produced 1.7 million tons of pork, which was consolidated in 1999 The pork production reached 2 million tons, equivalent to 24.9 million pigs slaughtered It is expected that the production will increase by 4.8% in 2001, to 2.06 million tons The domestic consumption is 1.84 million tons (about 93.6% of the total output), which increases the per capita consumption from 10.7 kg in 1999 to 10.9 kg in 2000 The continuous development of Brazilian pork production has also increased exports In 2000, exports reached 127000 tons, an increase of 47% over 1999 It is expected to reach 160000 tons in 2001, when Brazil will become the fourth largest exporter of pork products in the world In 2000, the export of Brazilian meat products made an important development The export of pork increased every month, especially in 2000, the Russian market was opened Since the beginning of exports to Russia in July, there has been remarkable progress in exports, which set a record of 16100 tons per month in August In 2000, a total of 127900 tons were exported In US dollar terms, such performance has increased export earnings from 87300 tons in 1999 and US $122.7 million to US $171.8 million in 2000, an increase of 40%, mainly due to the start of export promotion to Russia, accounting for us $30 million of the total export earnings last year In 2000, the export of pork made significant growth in the meat market of Brazil For the first time, the export earnings of pork accounted for 9.8% of the export earnings of meat However, chicken continues to dominate Brazil's meat exports, accounting for 45.9% and 44.3% respectively in 2000 in terms of US dollar sales In terms of export volume, pork accounts for 9.5%, chicken 67.2% and beef 23.3% (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
