Hong Kong: Livestock and Products Annual
In 2016, U.S. pork exports to Hong Kong have shown a positive upward trend due to competitive pricing. Domestic pork consumption is expected to remain strong into 2017. Hong Kong pork production in 2016 is expected to fall from last year’s level as sourcing live pigs from China, its main supplier, encounters challenges and reduces inventory for domestic processing. In response, pork imports are forecast to rise to 420,000 MT and 440,000 MT in 2016 and 2017, respectively.
