Thousands of T, the total amount of meat imports in my country in 2014 reached 2.792 million t. In 2015, the total amount of meat imports in my country reached 2.815 million t. In 2016 5.1%of the class supply. Imported meat comes from 32 countries (regions), of which the top 3 in the trade volume are the European Union, Brazil and the United States, respectively. Among them, the import volume of pork and products was the largest, reaching 2.718 million tons, accounting for 4.7%of the domestic supply; the import volume of beef and products was 595,000 tons, accounting for 7.8%of the domestic supply; lamb and product imports were 229,000 tons.

    If in accordance with relevant national regulations, imported meat is a special product. Meat is a product with certain quarantine risks. my country implements a designated port system for imports of such products. Only a specified port with qualifications allows imported meat products. Imported meat original containers, original lead seals, and original certificates are directly transported to the designated ports/inspection fields inland areas to implement inspection and quarantine, which will help improve and expand port function inland areas, save costs, and facilitate customs clearance.

The meat output should reach 100 million tons, an increase of 12.93 million tons from 2014, an increase of 14.8%.

By 2020, the total annual output of the meat in my country is expected to only reach 90 million-92 million tons, and there will be a supply and demand gap of 8 million to 10 million tons. Development potential is huge.
