Report Highlights:
The Office of Agricultural Affairs in Beijing (OAA/Beijing) revised the 2012 forecast for China’s beef production upward by 24,000 metric tons (MT), carcass weight equivalent (CWE), to 5.5 million metric tons (MMT). The increase reflects fewer than expected outbreaks of foot and mouth disease (FMD), as well as higher slaughter weights, which were driven by improved feed quality. Cattle exports are expected to increase 13 percent to
33,000 head, largely due to growing demand from slaughter facilities in Hong Kong and Macau. The revised forecast for pork production is 51.6 MMT, a nominal increase from the initial 2012 estimate of 51.2 MMT. The pork import estimate remains unchanged and imports are still expected to fall 26 percent to 560,000 MT.
China’s rising pork production and lower domestic prices in 2012 are expected to limit imports. The swine import estimate remains unchanged because China’s new import policy could hinder trade.
