In 2024, the EU's pork production is expected to rebound slightly due to a record low in piglet production in 2023, fallin feed prices, and increased demand for piglets. This rebound is due to breeders expanding sow numbers in 2023, leading to more hog litters in 2024. However, this cycle is expected to reach a new record low in 2025. The increase in pork production, primarily from Spain, will be consumed mostly within the EU, with some exported to third country markets. Despite slight increases in central and southern Europe, pork consumption and exports will not be able to absorb the increased supply, leading to increased competition and lower prices, potentially making EU pork more competitive globally.
