Producers attending the Saskatchewan Pork Industry Symposium in Saskatoon on Wednesday morning heard from Brett Stuart, the president and founding partner of AgriTrends based in Preston, Idaho.
He notes that Canadian hog slaughter has risen 2.7 per cent while prices are up 12.4 per cent.
Canada is selling more chilled pork to Japan, where it now holds 59 percent of the market.
Canadian pork sales to South Korea are 20 per cent higher—-continuing a trend which has seen exports double over the past eight years, due to lower tariffs.
