The forecast for the import of live swine (except pure-bred) weighing 50 kg or more to the US shows a decline from 98.016 million kilograms in 2024 to 75.674 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a consistent downward trend with an estimated year-on-year decrease of approximately 6% over this period. Compared to previous years, the 2023 figures suggest a continuing decrease in imports.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in international trade agreements or tariffs that may affect supply chains.
Changes in domestic swine production capacity within the US that could influence import needs.
Potential impacts of consumer demand dynamics for pork products, which may alter import volumes.
Developments in disease control measures globally, which could affect swine importation policies.
