France imported 10% more pork in Q1

Spain remained the largest supplier of pork into France, with its share of the market increasing to 73% as shipments grew 13% (+6,000 tonnes) on a year earlier. Volumes imported from Germany, the second largest supplier, also increased by around 1,000 tonnes, although Danish imports fell by a similar amount.

AHDB analyst Bethan Wilkins says the average unit price of French pork imports was stable on the year in the first three months of 2018, contrasting with the trend in export prices and finished pig prices at the time. This meant the total value of French pork imports also increased 10%, reaching €193.5 million.
