In the first half of 2003 the United states imported almost 20 per cent more pork than in the same period of 2002. Canada continued to be the main supplier, accounting for 85 per cnet of total imports, but with a slight fall in overall market share to the benefit of Denmark. During July imports continued to increase, as Canada had a high availability of pigs for export. At the end of July, imports from Canada were 15 per cent up on the first seven months of 2002, at 204,000 tonnes, while Danish imports were 30 per cent higher, at 29,000 tonnes.
