China, which supplied more than half of the 70,000 research monkeys used annually in the U.S., stopped exporting them in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. China hasn’t resumed exports; instead it is breeding monkeys for its own researchers and competing with the U.S. to buy monkeys from other countries, according to the report.
Since then, “The price of monkeys has gone through the roof”
