          Abstract

          Canada and the US have strong economic ties and form part of an integrated North American pork industry. Canada's pork industry is export‐oriented, and the US represents a key market for both live pigs and pork. Pork value chain stakeholders include input suppliers, pig producers, transportation companies, slaughter plants, wholesalers, and retailers. There are three overriding areas of concern for the Canadian pork industry with respect to potential impacts of the current pandemic (COVID‐19). The first is Canada/US trade and the ability to continue exporting Canadian live pigs and pork to the US. The second is labour and the impact of potential absenteeism on all sectors of the pork value chain. The third is global trade, because Canada's pork industry relies heavily on exporting pork to markets around the world.

          Résumé

          Le Canada et les États‐Unis ont des liens économiques solides et font partie d'une industrie porcine nord‐américaine intégrée. L'industrie canadienne du porc est tournée vers l'exportation et les États‐Unis représentent un marché clé pour les porcs vivants et la viande de porc. Les parties prenantes de la chaîne de valeur du porc comprennent les fournisseurs d'intrants, les producteurs de porcs, les sociétés de transport, les abattoirs, les grossistes et les détaillants. Il y a trois principaux sujets de préoccupation pour l'industrie canadienne du porc en ce qui concerne les effets potentiels de la pandémie actuelle (COVID‐19). Le premier est le commerce canado‐américain et la capacité de continuer d'exporter de la viande de porc et des porc vivants canadiens aux États‐Unis. Le deuxième est le travail et l'impact de l'absentéisme potentiel sur tous les secteurs de la chaîne de valeur du porc. Le troisième est le commerce mondial, car l'industrie porcine canadienne dépend fortement de l'exportation de porc vers les marchés du monde entier.
