China's pork and offal imports hit nearly two million tonnes in first eight months of 2023

China's imports of pork and offal reached 1.96 million tonnes in the first eight months of 2023.

While this is 9.5% higher than the same period last year (1.79 million tonnes), it is far from the 3.83 million tonnes imported from January-August 2020.

While monthly offal imports this year have remained more or less stable (between 90,000 tonnes and 110,000 tonnes per month), pork imports have progressed downward from 220,000 tonnes in January to half that in August (110,000 tonnes), the lowest monthly value since 2019.
