Pork imports expected to reach 4 million tons this year, analyst says

The spread of decades-old African swine fever may have slowed down thanks to China's effective efforts, but is not yet in full retreat after bringing mixed fortunes to people of varied sectors.

Han Changfu, minister of agriculture and rural affairs, said on Tuesday at an international symposium in Beijing that China's African swine fever conditions are now "under effective control" and growth of new cases is gradually slowing down, Xinhua News Agency reported.
