World pork production and trade

Introduction: globally, pork production in the world increased by 1.4% According to the statistics of FAO, pork was 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: YUV China, the major producer, 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 200 years 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 YUV's pork production in Russia has declined from 1.7 million tons in 1996 to 1.51 million tons in 1998, and it has been hovering at this level for the past three years It is expected that Russia will increase its imports in 2001 to meet domestic demand, which is feasible because last July, Russia reduced the value-added tax on imported meat YUV China is the largest consumer of pork In 2000, the consumption reached 41.6 million tons, which is still growing year by year It 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 YUV Japan is the largest importer of pork, 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 YUV America is the second largest importer, with an import volume of 453000 tons in 2000, equivalent to 80% of its export volume in that year Meanwhile, the import volume of the United States in that year exceeded that of Russia, whose import volume last year (2000) decreased from 500000 tons to 300000 tons As the economy rebounds and will increase to 400000 tons, imports of meat products from Hong Kong and China have increased 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) YUV 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 YUV 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 CPI, 71.3% of Canadian pork products exported in 1999 were fresh, frozen and frozen meat, 12.8% were processed products, 11.2% were by-products, 4.7% were fat, 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%) YUV U.S.: exports decreased slightly in 2000, mainly due to the 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 31.3%, Canada 9.5%, Hong Kong / China 5.7%, so these four importing countries account for 83.5% of US pork exports YUV 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 were 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 YUV in 2000, the total number of live pigs in Brazil was 37.3 million The continuous development of Brazilian pork production increased exports In 2000, exports reached 127000 tons, 47% less than that in 1999 It is expected to reach 160000 tons in 2001, when Brazil will become the fourth largest exporter of pork products in the world YUV in 2000, the export of Brazilian meat made an important development, pork export increased every month, especially in 2000, opened the Russian market 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 Brazilian meat market For the first time, the export revenue of pork accounted for 9.8% of the export revenue 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% YUV
