The USDA anticipates a 3.0% increase in global pork production by 2023, reaching 114.0 million tons, with a 2% rise in exports expected to reach 10.7 million tons due to strong demand in Asian markets, especially China. Mexico ranked eighth in pork production in 2022, with 1.5 million tons, and saw exports to China bringing in $44.4 million. However, China's pork imports have decreased due to the African swine fever outbreak, which resulted in the loss of over 100 million pigs, reducing its impact on the global market.
