Pork consumption in Russia is on the rise, with projections to exceed 28 kg/person in 2022. Globally, meat production rebounded in 2021, reaching 266.4 million tons, largely due to increased pork production in China and Vietnam, which had seen a decline due to African Swine Fever (ASF). This recovery has led to a reduction in pork imports by China in 2022, as domestic production has recovered and other meat sources like poultry and beef have been increased. However, China remains the largest global pork importer, particularly from Brazil, and is expected to continue importing at high levels in 2022.
