INTERPORC is committed to strengthening Spain's bilateral dialogue with China
This was stated by its general manager, Alberto Herranz, after participating in the meeting organized by the Government of Aragon to assess, together with the Aragonese pork sector, the impact of these taxes, which reach up to 62.4% for some EU companies, an amount that is reduced to a maximum of up to 20% for Spanish companies.
The meeting was attended by the President of Aragon, Jorge Azcón; the Vice President of the Government of Aragon, Mar Vaquero; and the Minister of Agriculture, Javier Rincón, as well as representatives from the main Aragonese pork companies and the National Association of Pork Producers (ANPROGAPOR).
In his speech, Herranz noted that INTERPORC and the sector associations are analyzing the impact of the provisional measure and will maintain dialogue and collaboration with both the Ministry of Agriculture and other Spanish government departments, as well as with the Chinese authorities.
He stated that the Interprofessional's first objective is "a rapid response to the uncertainty generated among exporting companies by the new administrative requirements, which will come into effect in just two days".
In this regard, he emphasized that INTERPORC and its associations are working with Spanish pork companies to clarify administrative issues and ensure that trade in pork and pork products to the Asian country can resume normally.
China is the main destination market for Spanish pork meat and by-products. In 2024, exports to this country reached 540,000 tons, with a value exceeding €1.097 billion, representing almost 20% of the total export volume and 12.5% of the sector's foreign sales value.
