In Asia, it's very interesting. We have very mature markets, and we have markets that are emerging. In the mature bucket, we have Japan and South Korea, which are two of our largest customers for pork and beef products. Japan actually competes with the United States on a yearly basis to be our number one customer for pork. They're usually about $50 million or $100 million off, one way or another.
China is obviously a massive market for agri-food products globally in general. We were really pleased to see the reintroduction of beef access to the Chinese market a few months ago, but as all of you folks around the table know, our pork industry continues to be impacted by the 25% retaliatory tariffs on Canadian pork. That has cost pork processors in Canada specifically about $175 million since the imposition of those tariffs.
Market diversification is not something new to the sector, and there are great opportunities in places like Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. There are growing markets there and growing exports. We have challenges with countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, which have high halal requirements. We do have halal-certifying bodies here in Canada that have been certified by the Indonesian authorities, for example, but we're continuing to deal with what I'll call non-tariff barriers in exporting our halal beef to Indonesia, where we were just approved for export a few months ago. That's a major potential market. We just have to get past these non-tariff barriers that we're currently dealing with.
