China: When Pigs Fly - Opportunities for US Swine Genetics to China
China is a significant market for U.S. swine genetics; U.S. live (breeding) swine exports to China were valued at $15.7 million in 2023. China produces approximately half the world’s pork and needs to import 5,000 to 10,000 head of purebred swine every year – with an estimated value of $15 to $30 million. U.S. exports of live breeding swine from 2017 to 2024 accounted for 36 percent of China’s live breeding swine imports; France and Denmark were our primary competitors. Swine semen does not currently have market access to China.
