The rise predominantly happened in pork cuts, about 11%; however, carcass
exports remained virtually unchanged.
Europe and Russia
Exports to both Europe and Russia were responsible for the increase from
Denmark.
• UK Despite a drop in bacon exports, total exports rose 5%.
• Poland A 36% increase was to be seen from January to June, mostly in the form of pork cuts.
• Russia A rapid growth happened - from 14,000 metric tonnes in 2005 to 57,000 metric tonnes this year.
• Japan To this Far East country, about 30% less pork was exported, possibly driven by a recent decline in consumption and increased confidence in beef and poultry.
Total pork exports to non-EU countries remained more or less the
same.
