Canada: Livestock and Products Annual
The Canadian cattle herd continues to steadily decline while modest expansion will occur in the Canadian swine herd. Feeder cattle imports and exports are expected to remain strong as Canadian feeders and cattle producers look for competitive pricing. Beef exports will increase in 2020 on strong global demand and new market advantages. Canadian pork exports are expected to grow slightly. Restrictions on Canadian exports of beef and pork to China will see the Canadian pork market impacted but alternate market opportunities in Asia will support sustained export growth. The United States continues to be the dominant import/export market for Canadian beef and pork products.
