According to data released by the General Administration of Customs of China, the import of fresh and frozen pork in September was 79,800 tons, a decrease of 2.21% month-on-month and 22.79% year-on-year；
However, the import structure is undergoing profound changes. In September 2025, China issued a preliminary ruling that EU pork was being dumped, with a margin of 15.6%-62.4%. Provisional anti-dumping measures, including deposits, have been initiated. This move has significantly increased the cost of EU pork exports to China, severely weakening its competitiveness.
In the short term, Kazakhstan's initial imports will be small and unlikely to directly impact the domestic market. However, with increased Russian exports and the entry of Kazakhstan, a "Central Asia + Eastern Europe" pork supply matrix is taking shape, accelerating the diversification of China's pork imports.
In the long term, domestic pig farming companies must not only cope with the pressure of domestic overcapacity but also be wary of long-term competition from import suppliers. Under the dual pressures of the international market and domestic production capacity, China's pork industry is entering a new cycle of adjustment.
