Spain leads European pigmeat slaughtering with a significant volume of 5.16 million metric tons, marking a 2.65% year-on-year increase in 2023. Germany follows with 4.31 million metric tons but faces a -4.2% decline. France and Poland are also key players, yet both countries experienced slight declines. Noteworthy growth is seen in Ireland (2.06%) and the Netherlands (1.92%), while smaller markets like Montenegro showed considerable growth (9.0%). Some countries, such as Romania (-6.11%) and Albania (-9.02%), witnessed sharp declines.
