China renewed the export registrations for hundreds of U.S. pork and poultry facilities but has not yet renewed beef facility registrations.
The country renewed or extended the facility registrations by five years for about 14 dairy, 210 poultry and 365 pork establishments that were overdue or set to be overdue by April. As of March 18, the General Administration of Customs of China had yet to renew 386 of the 654 U.S. establishments registered to export beef and beef products to China. In 2020, China pledged under the “Phase 1” trade deal to boost its purchases of U.S. goods and services by $200 billion over two years, a target that was not met.
In 2024, China was the No. 3 export market for U.S. beef, pork, poultry and dairy, according to USDA. Beef exports totaled $1.6 billion, pork exports $1.1 billion, poultry exports $0.5 billion and dairy exports $0.6 billion.
