Denmark has experienced a surge in pork production due to an increase in pig populations and a decrease in live exports. According to the umbrella association of the Danish agricultural and food industry, total exports, which include by-products and live animals, rose by 11.2% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in the previous year, totaling 550,440 tonnes. Notably, pig exports fell by 8.4% to 103,450 tonnes, while pure meat exports saw a significant increase of 17.0% to 447,000 tonnes. This shift indicates a change in export trends, with a reduction in live pigs being delivered to third countries.
