In 2023, Germany led global imports of live swine (excluding pure-bred breeding weighing 50 kg or more) at 396.12 million kilograms, with Portugal and the United States following. Year-on-year variations showed significant declines in countries like Poland (-34.15%) and South Korea (-30.78%) while Croatia (19.25%) and Slovenia (25.46%) experienced substantial growth. Over a five-year CAGR, trends indicate a steady increase in European markets, notably Germany and the UK, whereas the US displayed a downtrend.
