European pork exports to third countries, excluding the UK, in January 2023 saw a decrease of 12.8% compared to January 2022, totaling 319,691 tons. This decline is due to a decrease in production in Europe and difficulty in competing with prices in countries like the US, Canada, and Brazil. The main destination, China, saw a 4.1% decrease in imports. There was a significant reduction in exports to South Korea and the Philippines, but a 10% increase to Japan and the Ivory Coast.
