The speed at which events have unfolded makes one want to get off this rollercoaster ride of a year, but the world doesn’t stop.

Portugal saw an increase in the total number of pigs slaughtered in 2025.

According to Rabobank, Vietnam’s animal protein sector is modernizing fast, with rising incomes and shifting preferences driving demand.

The market is gradually working its way out of a phase of tension.

There is no doubt that ASF weighs heavily on pig prices. Prices will probably rise until they reach (and possibly exceed) the cost price, but we should not expect any major joys in 2026.

The area covered by Level III restrictions (the so-called ASF red zone) is no longer in force in Poland.

Highlights from the USDA grain and oilseed estimates for the 2025/26 season published on February 10.

These results reflect a sector with dynamic production and expanding domestic demand, but with a growing presence and pressure from imported products in the domestic market.

Meat production in Germany remained virtually unchanged in 2025 at 6.9 million tons.

The Chilean swine industry showed slight growth in slaughter, production, and domestic consumption.

An upward trend in total pork production and exports is expected from 2027 to 2035.

The key driver of pig meat production gains in 2025 was heavier carcase weights.

Rabobank sees global pork markets in 2026 defined by tightening herds, shifting trade policies, and persistent disease pressures.

The swine industry's performance over the last year reflects sustained growth, backed by historic production and consumption.

While Chinese imports of pork products in 2025 decreased by 8.5%, pork production increased to more than 59 million tons.

Over the past year, Spanish imports of live pigs continued to increase, reaching 4,778,189 head, 12% more than in the previous year.
