Canada: Livestock and Products Semi-annual

The Canadian cattle herd continues to contract while African Swine Fever (ASF) and market volatility concerns reduce the Canadian swine herd. Increased imports of U.S. feeder cattle are driven by strong Canadian feedlot demand, but imports will be reduced in 2020 due to constraints in Eastern Canada and contraction of the U.S. cattle herd. Canadian beef exports will increase in 2020 on strong global demand and the reopening of the Chinese market to Canadian beef in late 2019. A reduction in the Canadian sow herd will see a diminished pig crop in 2020. The increase in slaughter and a further contraction of the Canadian swine herd in 2020 is driven by increased global demand for pork. The United States continues to be the dominant import/export market for Canadian beef and pork products.
