Core Tip: The UK has entered into a £50m trade deal to export pork to China, the largest market for pig meat globally, as a part of its effort to increase trade for British food and farming businesses.
This agreement was announced by Agriculture Minister Jim Paice while on a trade mission to China, according to Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).

The exported pork will mostly include offal, trotters, ears and other parts that are known as fifth quarter of the pig, which are popular in China, but do not have demand in the UK. According to British pig industry, the pork deal with China will soon be worth more than £50m a year.

Jim Paice said that China is the most lucrative grocery market in the world, and its rapidly expanding middle class has demand for Western goods.

"In particular they are eating more meat, and our top quality producers have got huge opportunities to meet that demand and help our economic recovery,"Paice added.

Defra noted that the first shipment is ready to be dispatched by Tulip, the largest producer in UK.

The consumption of meat in China is growing rapidly; however, the local supply cannot address the demand.
