Max Armstrong reports on pork production in China, which produces more than 30 times as much as is produced in Iowa. Max shares insights from the Foreign Agriculture Service noting that outbreaks of African Swine Fever has impacted production, but the country is managing the issue. Pork producers in the country are seeing a boost in demand from the restaurant and hotel industries as Covid 19 restrictions are lifted, which could also boost demand for U.S. pork.
