The global pork market is experiencing significant shifts, with the EU's pork production and exports expected to decline, while the USA and Brazil rise as leading exporters. Russia is also becoming a key player, with a notable increase in pork exports, particularly to Vietnam and potentially China. However, Russian farmers face challenges due to regulatory and logistical issues. In Germany, pig prices have stabilized at 85 euros, benefiting producers and leading to a growing pig herd and promising production statistics for 2023. Increased Russian-Chinese cooperation could further impact EU pork exports, especially from Spain and Germany.
