The Netherlands exported less pork between January-July 2018
Tom Forshaw, analyst at AHDB, said that the fall in exports was overall due to a decline of 27% in shipments to China (-15,000 tonnes). Shipments were also down to the Netherlands' top three destinations (Italy, Germany & Greece).
Between January and July 2018, exports to Italy decreased by 4% to 81.6 thousand tonnes, while those to Germany declined by 2% 73.8 thousand tonnes and those to Greece by a staggering 9% to 51.9 thousand tonnes.
On the other hand, the country increased its shipments to some Asian markets. Collectively exports to South Korea and Japan are up over 9,000 tonnes, a 48% increase compared to the same period in 2017, in Japan’s case, however, exports are still below 2016 levels. The value of exports during the period also declined, by 8% to total just over €1 billion.
