answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>Supporting the UK food and drink sector to increase its exports is a priority for Defra. The work we are doing to increase market access for pork to China is a great success, and has boosted the value of UK pork exports there from £19.6 million in 2014 to £43.6 million in 2018. China's domestic market consumes 55 million metric tonnes of pork per year and there is real potential for UK industry to continue to increase exports of pork products such as pig trotters and heads. We will also continue to build on our strong international reputation for food standards and premium exports, which help drive the demand for UK produce in China.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 21/10/2019 15:35:40 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
