Peruvian pork producers are expecting to resume negotiations with China for export authorization in August, after a suspension due to the requirement for Peru to prove its foot-and-mouth disease-free status, which has been met. The talks will also establish health protocols for Peruvian pork companies to be included on China's authorized list.
