Based on figures from official sources, a consolidation and projection of pork consumption was conducted, with China continuing to be the main consumer. The top consumer of pork in 2021 continued to be China, taking into account its special economic regions Hong Kong, Macau, and Mainland China, whose consumptions were about 61, 52, and 37 kg/inhabitant respectively. By 2022, consumption in China is expected to grow by 4.1%, reaching almost 52 kg/inhabitant. In second place, we have Belarus. A slight increase in consumption of 0.3% is estimated for 2022 in this country. The European Union, South Korea, and Vietnam were the third, fourth, and fifth top consumers. According to consumption projections for this year, we expect increases in most of the main consuming countries. However, for the European Union, the United States, and Russia, there will be slight decreases of 0.7%, 0.9%, and 3.4% respectively, compared to 2021.
