Hayes comments on China pork imports

Dr. Dermot HayesDermot Hayes, professor, was quoted in an April 16, 2019, CNBC story, "China eyes U.S. poultry, pork imports in trade talks -sources."

Iowa State University agricultural economist Dermot Hayes said he expects China will import about 4 million to 6 million tonnes of pork in 2020, following losses in Chinese herds. The amount imported from the United States will depend on a trade deal, because Beijing maintains tariffs on shipments of American pork and has alternative suppliers, he said.
