Canada is the world’s third-largest pork exporter
WINNIPEG, Manitoba/OTTAWA — China has suspended pork imports from two Canadian companies, according to an interview with Canada’s agricultural minister and a Chinese customs document, marking the latest irritant in a widening diplomatic dispute.
However, a document posted to the website of China’s General Administration of Customs dated April 30 and reviewed by Reuters on Thursday said that imports from Canadian meat producers Olymel LP and Drummond Export have been suspended. Olymel LP spokesman Richard Vigneault confirmed on Wednesday that the company’s plant in Red Deer, Alberta, has been unlisted for exporting pork to China. He said he did not know the reason behind China’s action.Canada-China ties turned icy last December when police in Vancouver arrested Huawei Technologies Co Ltd Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. warrant.
