Next year, the production of pork in the EU and Britain will decrease slightly

In the first half of 2024, the EU-27 and Great Britain experienced a 3% increase in pork production and a slight rise in pork exports, despite a slight decrease in the number of sows in the eight largest pork-producing EU countries. However, Rabobank predicts a slight decrease in pork production in the EU-27 and Great Britain next year, with the most significant decrease in the Netherlands. Although pork exports to China are declining, they are growing in major destinations such as the Philippines, South Korea, Vietnam, and Australia. In the US, the number of sows is expected to stabilize, leading to a 2% increase in production in 2024. In Brazil, pork production is projected to grow by 3.5% due to increased exports and domestic demand. Global pork prices fell in October.
