Based on forecast data, pork losses in Japan are expected to stabilize between 2024 and 2028, with values remaining around 55.0 thousand metric tons. This marks a 1.9% increase from the 54.0 thousand metric tons forecasted for 2024, continuing through 2028. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period indicates a very modest anticipated rise.

Future trends to watch for:

Impact of new technologies and innovations in pork processing and supply chain management aimed at reducing losses.
The role of government regulations and policies in fostering sustainable livestock practices and mitigating waste.
Potential shifts in consumer demand due to changing dietary preferences that could impact production strategies.
