Ironically, this will impact China's profits from Smithfield.

They love their Pork Fried Rice and I don’t think Pork Fried Soy is gonna work for them. Let’s wait and see.

Pork products just got cheaper for consumers in the in the United States too.

Barbecue pork rib or cheap plastic toys, that's a tough one. 🤔

I know very little about international agricultural trade. It seems this will hurt pork producers here in the United States. Does the government already subsidize producers and, if so, will that subsidy increase? If we don’t subsidize them, will we start?

It would seem that pork prices for the consumer would fall unless other markets make up the difference.

Im beginning to dislike the Chinese more and more every day.

China grows 55% of the world’s hogs.

We should never have given China a chokehold on our pork production—and there’s no more reason for us to be shipping pork halfway around the world than there is beef or chicken.

[Mlheureux]

Good! Bigger supply in US and lower prices.

[reed13k]

Excellent more bacon for us at lower prices!

Fascinating source. A website run out of a rented office in Plano, Texas.

The author of the article? GuruFocus says "a passionate value investing practitioner, investing in special and deeply mispriced situations." So no real information about education and work experience and the like.

Media. Journalists. As to pork futures and the like, in the flux of this time and changing relationships, volatility is to be expected. Places your bets.....

America has a feral hog problem. Time to round up those little piggies and ship them to a feed lot.

[Kleon]

That pork will be turned into quality McRibs.

[Dan in Wichita]

Hopefully, we’ll see some temporary price drops for pork in the US. If it does, I’ll load up on baby back ribs, enough to get me through the grilling season. Yummy!

[Starboard]

An astute observation.

[butlerweave]

They’ll have to get their Pork for a muslim country now

[blackdog]

I smell cheaper bacon.

[ABStrauss]

Don’t buy Smithfield products.

[Cronos]

U.S. pork exports were about 3 million metric tons in 2024, with 475,000 metric tons going to China.

[Blueflag]

Exactly.

And I never buy any Smithfield products, deliberately.

[Georgia Girl 2]

We don’t buy Smithfield anyway.

Reports this week found Chinese scientists complaining the tariff war is slowing down research and making it difficult for laboratories to obtain vital equipment and supplies from the United States.

Xi say we not talking to Trump for nothing LOL.

Add this to the mix (MSN):
Chinese importers noted a sudden and unannounced reduction to zero of tariffs on U.S. imports of certain semiconductor and integrated circuit products, a sign that Beijing is feeling more pressure from President Donald Trump’s trade war than it acknowledges.

Chen Shaoling, a manager at Zhengnenliang Supply Chain, told CNN she learned on April 24 that tariffs on eight kinds of integrated circuits, covering most semiconductors except for memory chips, were now zero.
