In early 2024, the UK saw a slight increase in pig meat production despite lower slaughter rates, producing 306,400 tonnes. However, exports dropped by 3% to 100,500 tonnes, while imports rose by 3% to 251,500 tonnes, mainly from the EU27. Fresh/frozen pork and sausage imports grew, whereas processed pig meat and bacon imports fell.
