US pork imports also show a decrease but the gap seems to be filled by Canada, who has overcome the milestone of 10 thousand tonnes/quarter.

Exports, although small in comparison, have dropped off significantly over the same time, together indicating that domestic demand is growing for pork", explained Hannah Clarke, Analyst at AHDB.
