The highly contagious virus has spread to every province on the Chinese mainland since August 2018, resulting in a surge in pork prices

Paris — French deli meat makers are being squeezed by a surge in pork prices linked to an African swine fever epidemic that has decimated the pig herd in China, they said on Thursday, warning of potential bankruptcies in the sector.

In a knock-on effect, French live pork prices have gained 24% since early March, with a rise of as much as 30% for some ingredients used in making deli meats like saucisson, cooked ham and dry-cured ham, making it hard for producers to pass such price rises on to clients, industry association FICT said.

France vies with the Netherlands for the title of third-largest cold meats producer after Spain and Germany. Vallat warned of bankruptcies if price hikes could not be passed on to buyers. “No company can survive if there is no rebalancing with buyers,” he said, adding that it was almost certain prices would continue to rise.
