China's COFCO Meat imports pork from Chile, Europe as U.S. trade war bites

BEIJING (Reuters) - COFCO Meat Holdings Ltd has imported pork from Chile, the European Union and alternative countries, the Chinese pig farming company said on Wednesday, as Beijing's hefty tariffs on U.S. pork upends traditional trade routes.

The subsidiary of China's state-owned grains-to-property conglomerate COFCO said its trading division had diversified origins for its pork imports and developed customers from other countries to cope with the impact of the deepening trade war between the world's top two economies.
