China clears 106 US meat plants for export New approvals follow trade truce, but beef still excluded16 June 2025 16 June 2025 1 minute read 1 minute read By: By: Global Ag Media North America AsiaChina has approved 106 new US pork and poultry plants to export eligible products produced on or after June 12, Reuters reported, citing a notice on the Chinese Customs website. It comes after China and US agreed on a framework to get their trade truce reached in Geneva talks last month back on track. The newly approved facilities include 23 pork plants and 83 poultry plants, according to a Chinese Customs database. Hundreds of US meat plants gained access to China under the 2020 "Phase 1" trade deal brokered by President Donald Trump, but many lost their eligibility earlier this year. While registrations for pork and poultry facilities have since been renewed, beef plant registrations remain listed as "expired."
