The Japanese import a large proportion of their food. Pork exported to Japan is basically chilled fresh pork and frozen pork. The chilled pork demands a higher price and that is likely where we can see more growth. The frozen market is pretty well dominated by Denmark. The frozen is used more in the processing sector, the ham and sausage processing sector. The fresh chilled goes straight to the supermarket shelves and is used by the consumer in the home and retail sector. http://www.thepigsite.com/LatestNews/?AREA=LatestNews&Display=7385
