In 2023, pork production in China stood at an actual level significantly higher than the forecasted figures from 2024 to 2028. Analysis of the forecast indicates a consistent year-on-year decline, with the production dropping from 37.55 million metric tons in 2024 to 34.05 million metric tons by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that suggests an average annual decrease in production volume over this period, highlighting a downward trend.

Future trends to watch for:

Impact of government policies on the pork industry, including biosecurity measures and environmental regulations.
Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative proteins or increased demand due to economic growth.
Effects of international trade dynamics and disease outbreaks like African swine fever on supply and prices.
