* Vietnam's pork output in the overall picture of world pork in 2025?

According to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Vietnam's pork output is expected to increase by 3% to 3.8 million tons thanks to the expansion of the pig herd as the ability to control African swine fever (ASF) improves.

U.S. pork production is expected to increase 2% in 2025 to 12.9 million tons, driven by increases in the number of pigs slaughtered and the number of piglets per litter. In addition, improved industry profitability in 2024 and lower feed costs are expected to continue to support increased hog weights. U.S. pork exports are expected to increase 3.4% in 2025 to 3.4 million tons, driven by ample domestic supplies and strong export price competitiveness.

Pork production in Brazil is estimated to increase by 1.2% to 4.6 million tonnes, thanks to strong export demand and lower input costs.

For the EU and China, USDA forecasts a decline in pork production. Specifically, EU pork production is expected to decline by 1.6% in 2025, to 20.9 million tons due to lower pork prices.

Although China’s pork industry profitability improved in 2024, China’s pork production is expected to decline by 2.2% in 2025 to 55.5 million tonnes. The decline in the number of sows in 2024 will reduce the number of pigs slaughtered in 2025. In addition, pork demand in China is forecast to remain weak, due to economic uncertainty and a growing shift to poultry meat.

As expected production declines in China and the EU outweigh growth in the US, Vietnam and Brazil, world pork production in 2025 is expected to decline by 0.8% to 115.1 million tonnes.
