The USDA has released estimates for the global meat sector in 2025, with a focus on pork. In China, the world's largest pork producer and consumer, production is expected to decrease due to a shrinking herd, leading to a decline in pork consumption and imports. The Chinese economy, however, is expected to influence pork prices. In the Philippines, which relies heavily on Brazil for pork imports due to African swine fever, production is projected to remain low. The US is expected to increase pork production, leading to lower prices and boosting exports, while the European Union is expected to see a decline in production, consumption, and exports due to high costs.
