EU - The strong performance of EU exporters in the final months of 2015 continued into January, with pork shipments up by more than a quarter compared with a year before, at 156,000 tonnes.This represented comfortably the best start to the year on record, despite the ongoing Russian ban.China remains the key driver of the growth, with shipments more than double their level in January 2015. Most other Asian markets took more EU pork this January, with South Korea the only significant exception.This indicates that demand remains strong, despite the slowdown in economic growth, and EU product remains competitive. This has come at the expense of a 7 per cent fall in unit prices but the value of exports was still up 17 per cent year on year, at 335 million.
欧盟出口商在2015年最后一个月至2016年一月期间表现强劲，猪肉发货量与去年同期相比增长四分之一，达到156000吨。尽管俄罗斯出口禁令持续，出口量代表了有史以来一年的最好开端。中国进口额比2015年一月至少多出2倍，是保持增长的关键驱动因素。除了韩国，绝大多数其他亚洲国家市场一月的进口额也保持增长。尽管经济增长放缓，但是预料未来需求会保持强劲，欧洲产品仍将保持竞争力。虽然产品单位价格下降7%，但出口价值年同比增长17%，达到3.35亿欧元。
