The article highlights the growth in EU pig meat production due to increased slaughter numbers, with significant gains in Poland and Germany, while Spain experienced a decline. EU pig meat imports have decreased, with the UK remaining the largest supplier despite a reduction in volume, and Chile increasing its exports to the EU following a new trade agreement. However, EU pig meat exports have dropped, particularly to China and Japan, due to heightened competition and economic challenges. Despite the rise in production, prices have fallen because of oversupply and weak demand, with the EU S grade pig price declining for three consecutive weeks.
