Rabobank estimated China's pork imports to 2 million tons in 2016 'S most recent estimate of the agricultural Middle Dutch Rabobank China to import pork around 2 million tonnes this year 2016. That would be an increase of 30%. Until now, Japan has been with annual imports of 1.25 million as the world's largest importer of parts of the pig. Rabobank assumes that the Chinese production of pork 2016 to 5% decline is. The main reason is the sow inventory reduced by 20%. Backyard attitudes are Government strictly controlled on hygiene measures and not proper plants closed down. The building of Pigpens backed high requirements in terms of supply and disposal. That costs a lot of money and slows down investment willingness. But not underestimate the ambition of the Chinese Government to raise the own generation with all financial resources again ahead. Chinese pork prices from 2.85 to €3.35 / kg can be initially hoping for a lucrative business, but high feed costs twice as high feed prices when compared to the world market, as well as limited services at the feed efficiency and increases in the daily perspective heights that revenues at the pig. High consumer prices at a moderately growing Chinese economy to reduce the consumption of pork by around 4% . It is calculated a supply deficit of around 2 million tonnes, which should be populated by imports. Countries such as the EU, United States and Canada are able to deliver the additional quantities. While the EU has the edge, because it avoids the use of the growth promoter of Ractopamine. Basically, there are also companies that waive the means in the case of sales to China in the United States and Canada. After assessment of the Rabobank will be China in the next few years unable, to restore self-sufficiency. It is estimated that the imports for the time being still continue to rise could. How long you can count on rising imports from China, to deliver the milk market a good example. May be slightly different the world looks in 2018 already.
