China is set to regain its position as the world's leading pork producer in 2024, accounting for 46% of the global production with an estimated output of 56.8 million tons. This recovery follows a significant loss in pig populations due to African swine fever. The United States and Spain will follow in second and third place with 12.7 and 4.8 million tons respectively. Other major producers include Brazil, Germany, and Russia. The past decade has seen varied trends in the global pork market, with some countries like Spain, Brazil, and the United States increasing production, while others like Germany and Poland have seen declines. The top ten producers are responsible for over 75% of the world's pork production.
