The USDA forecasts a rise in beef and pork imports in China in 2023, while poultry imports are expected to decline. Strong Q4 2022 figures suggest a continued increase in beef and pork imports, driven by China's economic recovery and the recovery of the hotel, restaurant, and institutional sectors. Pork imports are expected to reach 114 million tonnes due to increased production in China and higher demand in Asian markets. However, poultry imports may drop to pre-pandemic levels as lower pork prices are expected to reduce demand for poultry.
