The Chinese market continues to be a major focus for UK pork exporters, with two of the most important meat industry shows taking place over the next month.
Exports of red meat from the UK were worth more than £1.45 billion in 2021 – up £33 million on pre-pandemic levels despite a challenging year for exporters.
Exports of beef from the UK to Japan were worth a staggering £1.78 million in January – almost a fifth of the total value last year, in just one month.
