The U.S. can expect to ship large quantities of chicken to China following the recission of retaliatory tariffs in early March. Easing of congestion at major ports of entry will also 
permit larger volumes that should be reflected in future monthly USDA-FAS data.
During the first two months of 2020, the U.S. shipped only 1,150 metric tons of chicken products compared to total imports by China of 160,000 metric tons. Of this volume of imports, Brazil represented 60 percent with the remainder sourced from Argentina (20 percent), Russia (11 percent), and Thailand (9 percent). China imported a variety of products including legs, wings, and paws.
According to the March 30th USAPEEC MondayLine, domestic chicken production in China has resumed following lifting of Covid-19 restrictions on travel and transport.
