China can lose up to 33% pork herd

Analysts forecast a sharp rise in prices for pork in the second quarter of this year. The world market is preparing to jump in prices for pork, and China can destroy up to 10% of the livestock due to a sharp epidemic of ASF. As a result of a sharp decline in the release of goods to world markets, suppliers will be forced to raise prices or purchase products from other countries. Experts say that after the inevitable rise in prices for pork will not be able to avoid increasing the cost of other types of meat.

 

 

Officials of the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor) noted that such a shortage of products would greatly affect the Far East, and soon spread to other regions. In addition to China, experts also note the spread of ASF in Vietnam, Japan, Taiwan, Australia.
