Canadian exports to Russia have soared and the Canucks seem to be on a growth path with their exports now. On page 7 US pork export volumes are seen to have fallen in the most recent month’s data. Australia’s pork exports are on a flatline and imports are growing steadily on page 8. Page 9 the South Korean import trade – which can still show some growth on “normal” demand if a comparison is made with 2010. on page 10.
