South Korea's imports of pork and beef surged in the first half of the year from a year earlier due to the spread of FMD that led to the culling of millions of animals here, a state agency said Tuesday.
Yonhap reports the Animal, Plant and Fisheries Quarantine and Inspection Agency announcement that South Korea imported 219,681 tons of pork in the January-June period, up 120 per cent from 99,899 tons a year earlier.
