Pork trends for import buyers: cuts, specifications and FCL shipping
For professional buyers following pork trends, the useful question is not a price forecast but which cuts are available in full container loads and to what specification. In West Africa the volume is driven by pork feet (front and hind), heads, neck bones and tails rather than premium cuts.
To compare offers on a like-for-like basis, specify the same cut, origin, trim standard and carton format in every enquiry. ATC Group confirms availability and shipment terms for FCL loading in a 40ft Reefer at -18 °C, on CIF, CFR or FOB terms.
