BEIJING, Sept 17 (Reuters) - China will auction 10,000
tonnes of pork from its state reserves on September 19,
according to an official notice published on Tuesday on the
website of the China Merchandise Reserve Management Center.
The state sale comes amid a huge shortage of supplies of the
country's favourite meat following a severe outbreak of disease
in the world's largest hog herd.
The frozen pork includes meat imported from Denmark,
Germany, France and the United States, according to the notice.
