The Chilean pork industry faced challenges in 2022 due to global and local issues, including inflation, high raw material prices, political and social conflicts, and diseases, which affected production stability and projections. Despite these challenges, the industry remained resilient. According to Customs data, pork exports fell by 12% in volume and 20% in value compared to 2021, with China, South Korea, and Japan being the main markets. Rabobank predicts that the global pork industry will continue to face high production costs and consumption trend changes in 2023. In China, pork processing is expected to grow slowly, while in Brazil, pork production will increase due to strong export presence. North America's pork sector is expected to stabilize, Europe's is projected to shrink due to disease presence, new internal regulations, and lower export volumes.
