The USDA's 'Canada: Livestock and Products Annual' report for 2021 predicts a contraction in Canada's cattle and pig industries in 2022. The drought this year is expected to lead to fewer calves, resulting in a shrinking herd and a 1% decrease in beef production. Pork production is also projected to drop by 2%, despite a modest increase in slaughter, due to lower carcass weights. The United States is expected to continue being the primary importer of both beef and pork from Canada. However, exports of live pigs are expected to decline due to a recent labor dispute resolution, while pork exports are expected to remain stable despite disruptions in processing capacity.
