Coronavirus disrupts China meat imports, food supply during pork shortage

CHICAGO - Coronavirus is disrupting meat shipments to China as the country faces a shortage due to an outbreak of a fatal pig disease, Tyson Foods Inc and U.S. agricultural groups said on Thursday.

However, coronavirus - which has killed 563 people so far - is keeping consumers and workers at home in China, delaying purchases at stores and restaurants and slowing the unloading of products at ports. China has increased meat imports from the United States, Europe and Brazil as African swine fever has killed up to half its pigs since August 2018.

“Once we get past the coronavirus incident, whenever that might be, I do think there is going to be very strong demand,” he said.

MCD going down, TSN going down, YUM going down, SBUX going down. It’s remarkable equities aren’t tanking. Oh yeah that’s right, the lying scumbags at the FOMC are going to begin buying Big Mac’s, friend chicken, mocha chinos and chicken legs...LMFAO. People are such sheep
