The United States and China have reached an agreement to reopen the Chinese market to U.S. pork and pork products, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced.

Twenty percent of U.S. pork production was exported in 2009. Prior to H1N1 trade constraints, U.S. pork and pork variety meats exports to China were valued at nearly $275 million in 2008. China was the United States' seventh largest market, accounting for six percent of U.S. pork and pork variety meat exports.
