GERMANY - Exports of fresh/frozen pork from Germany fell slightly in the first quarter of 2016, down 6 per cent to 419.3 thousand tonnes, when compared with the same period a year earlier.This decrease was despite a strong growth recorded in exports to China, which were up 82 per cent.Germany, like other EU major producers, has significantly increased the volumes of it pork shipments to China this year to date, capitalising on the seemingly insatiable need and high pig price. Because of this, it remains the largest exporter of pork to China, accounting for almost a quarter of fresh/frozen pork imports.

　　德国的清新/寒冻猪肉出口量在2016年首席季度稍微下降，与去年同期水平相比减少6%，达到41.93万吨。尽管运往中国的出口量增长强劲 ，上涨82%，但是出口量还是有所下降。德国与其他欧盟主要生产国一样，利用看如永不满意的需求与高昂的猪价，大大增添了从今年迄今为止对中国的猪肉出口数量。正因如此，德国依然是中国最大的猪肉出口国，占中国清新/寒冻猪肉进口量的四分之一。
