The European Union's pork industry is projected to experience a long-term decline, with production anticipated to fall for a second year in a row in 2023 by approximately 10%. This decline is attributed to high cost pressures, including grain and energy expenses, and challenges such as the Russian trade embargo, African swine fever, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, potential changes to EU livestock regulations could further increase costs and potentially exclude EU pork from various markets. The industry's future focuses on animal welfare and environmental concerns, which could result in reduced pork production volumes and higher prices. Additionally, a shift towards chicken as a more affordable meat option due to inflationary conditions could exacerbate the challenges faced by the pork industry.

Pig prices soared in Europe last year as output was cut by farms squeezed by high grain and energy costs. Unlike previous cycles, European breeders are in no rush to revive production despite record prices this year that have restored margins for many farms. European Union pork production is set to fall for a second year in 2023, taking the cumulative decline to around 10%, and output could ebb further in the coming years, according to analysts. "It's a structural shift," said Jean-Paul Simier, a meat analyst and contributor to French commodities review ...
