China will release additional pork from central reserves this week to ensure pork supplies and maintain price stability, the country’s top economic planner said on Tuesday.
This will be the second batch of pork released from the country’s central reserves this year, according to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).
The price of pork, China’s staple meat, rose 0.4 percent in August from July, down 25.2 percentage points from the previous month’s growth, official data showed.
The commission will closely monitor market developments and increase the release of pork if necessary, NDRC said.
Pig farms are advised to make appropriate arrangements and sell their pigs at a normal pace.
