UK pork imports in August 2023 increased by 230 tonnes compared to the previous month and by 4,700 tonnes compared to August 2022. After a decline in the first four months of 2023, imports have been growing annually since May. The English pig herd is currently at its lowest level in over a decade, resulting in increased imports of fresh and frozen pork and bacon, while imports of sausages and processed pork have been decreasing.
