China recently approved 23 U.S. pork plants to export product to the Asian nation, following recent trade talks between Washington and Beijing.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) have been working with China’s General Administration of Customs to renew the registrations of U.S. meat and poultry plants and facilities that expired earlier this year. The recent renewals, which also included 83 poultry facilities, apply to product produced after June 11.
The latest plant approvals came just a week after the United States and China agreed to move forward on the May trade deal they reached in Geneva, Switzerland. Export registrations for more than 1,000 U.S. meat plants were granted by China under the 2020 Phase 1 trade deal with the United States, but many expired in February and early March. In mid-March, China renewed the registrations of 300-plus U.S. pork facilities, then suspended renewals as it engaged in a weeks-long tariff tiff with the United States.
