In 2024, pork imported from the United States accounted for about 6.8% of the total imports, and pork imported from Canada accounted for about 10% of the total imports.

With the gradual increase in temperature, the enthusiasm of individual farmers to slaughter large pigs has increased, intensifying the phased supply pressure [125]. - Demand - side: At the end of April, the slaughter volume increased slightly month - on - month, reaching a historical high. The Dragon Boat Festival stocking showed some improvement, but the demand declined seasonally after the festival. With the gradual increase in temperature, the terminal demand was weak, and the procurement volume of households and the catering industry decreased month - on - month. At the same time, as pig prices fell, secondary fattening in the north also increased. White - striped meat dealers were waiting and seeing about future prices and mainly purchased based on rigid demand. The pork price lacked the driving force for an increase. Frozen products continued to be warehoused, but mainly passively, with less active warehousing [125][126]. - In terms of live pig breeding profit, in May 2025, the overall breeding profit showed a downward - oscillating trend. The breeding profit of purchasing piglets declined significantly from the previous month, turning from profit to loss; the breeding profit of self - breeding and self - raising live pigs decreased significantly from the previous month but remained in a profitable state [126].
