On March 17, 2025, Beijing renewed registrations allowing hundreds of U.S. pork and poultry facilities to export to China. This action followed concerns that lapses in these registrations could threaten significant shipments.
The renewed registrations are valid for five years, providing stability for U.S. meat exporters. This resolution mitigates the risk of up to $1.3 billion in potential losses for the U.S. pork industry that was facing uncertainty due to expiring licenses.
The renewal is a positive development for companies like Smithfield Foods, which rely on access to the Chinese market for certain pork products, such as offal. It ensures continued trade flows and reduces geopolitical trade tensions in the agricultural sector.
