Japanese pork production should finally recover from PEDv in 2016, tamping prospects for imported chilled pork. Ample global supplies of frozen pork in 2016 should help Japanese processors rebuild stocks and fuel continued competition between North American, South American and EU suppliers in the Japanese market.
