Pork exports outside EU down by 45.6%

Poland's pork exports outside the EU declined by 45.6 percent year-on-year to 170,400 metric tons in the period from January to November 2014, according to Foreign Agricultural Markets Monitoring Unit (FAMMU/FAPA) citing European Commission data.

All of the EU countries exported 2.7 million tons of pork, which is a decrease by 6.0 percent y/y.

“The decline of meat exports in this period is related to the Russian embargo on pork imports due to the African swine fever (ASF). Ukraine and Belarus are also limiting their imports,” the report read.
