BEIJING, May 7 (Reuters) - China imported 922,000 tonnes of meat in April, up 6.9% from the same month a year earlier, customs data showed on Friday. China is still grappling with a shortage of pork after domestic production plunged following outbreaks of African swine fever since 2018. Imports in the first four months of the year reached 3.55 million tonnes, up 16.9% from the same period last year.
