OK, since you lot seem to have realized the answer straight away, or at least since Scorcher told you what the right answer is, it is pork - with a whopping 42% of meat sold around the planet. How much of this is smuggled into Turkey in suitcases is not disclosed.

Pork plays a vital role in China's commerce. There are almost half a billion pigs in China, one for every three people. In gross terms, like in humans, China dwarfs other countries in pigs. And there's no India of pigs to rival China. The next biggest producer is the U.S., which has 65 million pigs, according to the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization. In fact China produces more pigs than the next 43 pork producing countries combined. China is the biggest pork producer in the world—almost all of its 50 million metric tons of production in 2010 (half of all the pork in the world) was consumed domestically.

China has a frozen pork reserve, a series of icy warehouses around the country it set up a few years ago to stabilize pork prices.

I think my wife has the same judging by the difficulty I have in getting anything into the freezer.
