Japanese pork imports report slight increase in Q2 2018
AHDB analyst Bethan Wilkins said volumes for January-June overall were on par with 2017. Import prices have been stable, so value changes reflected volumes shipped, and totalled 241 billion Yen for the period overall.
Spain was the main supplier of pork to the Japanese market in the mentioned period, shipments reaching 58,000 tonnes. Wilkins said that Spain's market share across January-June increased to 13%.
the US remained the largest single-country supplier, with shipments at 129,100 tonnes (68 billion Yen) in the first half of the year. However, this is 4% below year earlier levels, with a declining trend recorded throughout the first half of the year.
