USDA Report on US Poultry Access in China Urges Exporters to Work With Chinses Distributors

A U.S. Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service report on the status of U.S. poultry exports to China urges U.S. exporters to reconnect with Chinese importers and distributors and seek out new contacts now that the country is accepting U.S. poultry imports (see 1911140019). The June 11 report outlines current market conditions, access regulations and market entry recommendations. The Chinese market “has changed considerably” since the U.S. “last had market access in 2015,” USDA said, adding that U.S. exporters should consider working with suppliers to China’s “semi-prepared and frozen food processing segments.” That sector has seen “considerable change … and may offer new opportunities for U.S. exporters,” it said.
