Since lifting the restrictions on African swine fever in 2008, Russia has exported 38.1 thousand tons of pork to China in 2024, with an anticipated increase to 38.5 thousand tons by year-end. This follows a visit by Chinese representatives to inspect the Russian veterinary supervision system and the signing of a protocol for pork export requirements. Three Russian companies have been certified for pork shipments to China, with the first batch of pork sent in February and the first shipment of pork offal in April.
