Forecast: Pork Tourist Consumption in United Arab Emirates

The pork tourist consumption in the United Arab Emirates has shown variable trends from 2014 to 2023, starting at 15.0 thousand metric tons in 2014, reaching a low of 13.28 thousand metric tons in 2020 due to likely disruptions, and stabilizing at 16.0 thousand metric tons in recent years.
