Earlier Report Observations

The pork market in the Americas saw steady volume growth between 2018 and 2023, with total consumption increasing from 20.8 million tons to 23.6 million tons. This expansion was underpinned by consistent growth in domestic production, which rose from 22.2 million tons to 24.7 million tons over the period. Concurrently, import volumes more than tripled, adding to the available supply despite a gradual decline in export volumes after a peak in 2020.

In value terms, the market demonstrated greater volatility, contracting to 60.5 billion USD in 2020 before recovering strongly to reach 74.7 billion USD in 2023. The overall value increase of 28% from 2018 levels coincided with the period of rising import volumes and sustained domestic output, reflecting broader market dynamics.
