[quote user="John WR"][quote user="Bucyrus"]And furthermore, the U.S. pork market is shrinking while the Chinese market is growing, so they might want to favor the Chinese market with brand and supply improvement rather than go after the higher price of the shrinking U.S. market.[/quote] Bucyrus,   I have no figures on Chinese pork consumption.   A little web surfing will show that pork is has traditionally been a popular meat in China.  But is there a pent up demand so that the Chinese would suddenly consume a lot more than they now consume?   I'm skeptical.  [/quote] John, There is a pent up demand for pork in China because scarcity has kept the price too high for much of the market to afford.  But now, with China’s new prosperity from manufacturing, more people have the money needed to buy pork.  That is the reason for the sudden surge in pork consumption in China.  The pent up demand is suddenly unconstrained, and able to be fulfilled if the supply is made available.
