Earlier Report Observations

Belize's pork market volume declined to 2 087 t in 2019 before stabilizing at 2 056 t in 2020, a period marked by global supply chain disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic. A recovery followed in 2021, with consumption reaching 2 105 t.

The market expanded significantly to 2 227 t in 2022, an increase of over 5%. This growth was driven by import regulations, including a 35% tax on imported hams, which encouraged domestic production. Rising consumer preference for locally sourced and organic meat products further supported demand for Belizean pork. By 2023, the market volume stabilized at 2 238 t.
