The forecast for US pork residuals from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decrease, moving from 73,000 Metric Tons in 2024 to 68,000 Metric Tons in 2028. Compared to 2023, where pork residuals were significantly lower, the data suggests a slow but steady recovery. Year-on-year declines are slight, averaging around 1.3% annually from 2024 through 2028, representing a stabilizing trend as the sector responds to market efficiencies and waste reduction efforts.
Future trends to watch include:
-Technological advancements in processing and distribution aiming to optimize waste management.
-Increasing societal and regulatory pressure for sustainable production methods that could further impact residuals.
-Volatility in consumer demand which may either accelerate or decelerate the observed trend.
