Hundreds of U.S. meat processing plants, including major pork producers, face potential export disruptions as their access to the Chinese market is set to expire. These facilities were granted eligibility under a 2020 trade agreement, but with that deal approaching its end, their registrations are now in question.
The lapse in authorization could impact billions of dollars in U.S. meat exports, including pork, at a time when trade relations remain uncertain. Industry leaders have pushed for renewals, but approvals have yet to be confirmed, raising concerns about potential market losses.
The expiration of these registrations could have significant implications for U.S. pork producers and exporters, further complicating an already challenging global trade environment.
