CHICAGO - The same week U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping increases on tariffs against Chinese goods, Chinese buyers dropped orders for 3,247 metric tonnes of U.S. pork - the biggest cancellation in more than a year, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data released on Thursday.
The cancellation came during the week ended May 9, a blow to the $6.5 billion export market for American pork, vital to the burgeoning U.S. meat industry. For months, the U.S. farm sector - which has been among the hardest hit by the trade war between the world’s two largest economies - has been banking on China increasing its U.S. pork purchases due to African swine fever .
Earlier this year, China canceled sales of 53 metric tonnes in the week ended Feb. 28, sales of 999 metric tonnes in the week ended March 21, and 214 metric tonnes in the week ended April 18, according to USDA data.“It’s just disappointing that this trade war could drag on for months and that means more tariffs on pork,” said Dennis Smith, commodity broker with Archer Financial Services. “This should not be happening. We should be selling a lot of pork to China, because of ASF.
I'm bbq pork spareribs right now
China can import pork from many other countries.
How does that work? The largest producer of pork in the United States is Smithfield and that company is Chinese owned. Maybe a better headline is: China cancels pork order from Chinese company. 🤓
People who are not American pork merchants are watching the show
yeah..eat the machines
That photo is amazing lol
That's a low blow there
good, we have a lot of unexpected mouths to feed here, at our border...
A Chinese company bought the US largest pork producer. What a great way to offset the tariff costs. How many other companies are forging owned and can do the same?
googles 'recipes for pork' while working
China can not purchase the cheep beef.
Lol I’m siding with Gyna on this one. Hit the trumpets where it hurts AND let them be even more obese. Maybe the US could reclaim the title as Most Morbidly Obese Nation?
Very bad
Should go over well, with most of China’s pork industry devastated by swine flu, no bacon for them.
It's not because of trump's stupid tariffs but because they tried the all mighty Vegan Burger.... now they're all addicted to it...
Well there’ll be fewer dogs on their streets.
How mush of that evil free socialist money are we going to give pork farmers now? I know it's only socialism if money goes to poor people.
Oh goodie...more pork for us! Maybe pork ribs will be dirt cheap at Costco now! Ha!
I would bbq the low priced pork. I will eat pork everyday.
Good. So China will eat their double dead meat.
realDonaldTrump just do what you know, I know and everyone around the World knows needs to happen and first thing tomorrow morning van ALL imports from China and ALL exports to China.
Good for them.
This is Chinese way of doing things, starts small, but gradually escalating unbeknownst to her rivals, by the time they feel the scorching pain, it is going to be too late.
China owns Smithfield foods though
👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Whoo Hoo....MORE BACON FOR US!!
I’ll buy some. ✔️. Bacon for all
Doesn't China have a pork supply issue? Oh well
They only killed more dogs and cats in CHina by doing so......
I wonder if any Trump supporters are hog farmers?
