Last month, Ukraine set an anti-record in monthly imports of pork – more than 6 thousand tons. This is almost a quarter higher than the previous import maximum, which was recorded in August 2021 (4.9 thousand tons).
This was reported by ProAgro Group with reference to the Association of Pig Breeders of Ukraine.
The reduction of prices for pork in the EU under the pressure of weaker purchasing activity in the domestic market and the inactive trade with China provided the European pork competitiveness even after the exhaustion of import quotas.
Thus, while in August the weighted average customs value of a kilogram of imported pork was almost $2, in September it decreased down to 1.82 USD/kg, and in October to 1.74 USD/kg.
In October, Belgium was added to the list of major supplier countries of pork and supplies of pork from Canada resumed.
