Safe thus far from the inroads of African swine fever virus (ASFV or ASF) behind the vast moats of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, Tyson Foods (NYSE: TSN), Pilgrim's Pride (NASDAQ: PPC), and other U.S. meatpackers appear to be positioned for potential profits as China bans importation of German pork following the first case of ASF in Germany. Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND) could also see gains from sharply reduced European meat imports to Asia. The discovery last week of a single wild boar dead of African swine fever, or pig Ebola, near Germany's border with Poland triggered an immediate disruption of the international pork supply.
