A forecast for 2022 shows a rise in the number of pigs slaughtered in Canada by 50,000 heads, despite a projected decline in pork production by 2% due to COVID-19 and labor disputes. These disputes are expected to decrease exports by 8%, recovering from a 13% increase in 2021, and reduce domestic consumption slightly. Pork imports are predicted to grow by 4% in 2022, and exports to remain stable despite global demand drops and ASF in specific areas. Approximately 60% of Canada's pork production, currently in suspension, was previously eligible for export to China, with the situation waiting for resolution to resume.
