EU pork exports up by 16% in October

In value, the exports reached €458.4 million in October, with an increase of 8% compared to a year ago.

The bloc's pork exports to South Korea increased by 10,000 tonnes in October compared to September to 32,000 tonnes, which was nearly twice the volume exported in October 2017. Duncan Wyatt, Lead Analyst at AHDB,  said that this represented a substantial 15% of overall EU exports in the month.

Other countries, including the Philippines (+40%, at 12,750 tonnes) and China (+2%, at 62,400 tonnes) also contributed to the increase. Volumes to Hong Kong, however, continued to reduce. Year to date exports of pork have now reached 1.77 million tonnes, (+3%) worth €3.95bn (-6%).
