US export sales of pork to China hit their lowest on record in the week ended March 5 even as access to ports improved in the world's top consumer of pork, said the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), reported Reuters.
The USDA's weekly report showed that Chinese buyer cancellations pushed down total export sales to China to negative 45,222 tonnes of pork, the lowest since record keeping began in 2013 and eclipsing the previous record of negative 17,614 tonnes of export sales in the week ended January 2.
Pork shipments to China totalled 139,719 tonnes, reflecting earlier export sales.
