Meat of Pig with the Bone; Fresh or Chilled Production by Country
China remained the largest producer of meat of pig with the bone, fresh or chilled, despite a decline of 883,200 tonnes from 2023, while Vietnam added 236,000 tonnes. The figures below reproduce FAO Crops and Livestock Products records for item Meat of pig with the bone; fresh or chilled, 2020-2024, reporting production quantity in tonnes. The table lists 172 countries; 171 reported a 2024 quantity, and the 2024 annual listed total is 125,341,943 tonnes. The 2024 country list runs from the largest listed quantity to the smallest.
China was the largest producer of meat of pig with the bone, fresh or chilled, in the 2024 FAOSTAT-listed data, with 57,060,000 tonnes. The United States ranked second with 12,611,319 tonnes and Brazil third with 5,358,897 tonnes. The 171 countries with a reported 2024 quantity accounted for 125,341,943 tonnes in total, with China alone representing 45.5 percent of the listed production.
China produced 4.52 times as much as the United States: 57,060,000 tonnes against 12,611,319, while Brazil ranks third with 5,358,897 tonnes, 7,252,422 tonnes behind the United States. The top two accounted for 55.6 percent of the listed total, with third and fourth at 5,358,897 and 4,956,040 tonnes respectively. China was the largest bone-in pig meat producer in the 2024 listed data with 57,060,000 tonnes, followed by the United States with 12,611,319 tonnes and Brazil with 5,358,897 tonnes. Spain ranked fourth with 4,956,040 tonnes. China accounted for 45.5 percent of the listed 2024 total. The top three together accounted for 59.9 percent of the 125,341,943-tonne listed total. The common reporter universe (171 countries with data in both years) edged from 124,558,023 tonnes to 125,341,943 tonnes between 2023 and 2024, a change of 783,920 tonnes (0.6 percent). The totals listed for each year were 124,572,898 tonnes (172 reporters) and 125,341,943 tonnes (171 reporters); 1 country reporting in 2023 (14,874 tonnes, Nicaragua) did not report in 2024, while no new reporters joined. China fell 883,200 tonnes (down 1.5 percent), while Vietnam added 236,000 tonnes (up 6.6 percent) and Russia 222,800 tonnes (up 4.7 percent). From 2020 to 2024 the common reporter universe (171 countries with data in both years) moved from 108,678,547 tonnes to 125,341,943 tonnes, a change of 16,663,396 tonnes (15.3 percent). The totals listed for each year were 108,691,748 tonnes (172 reporters) and 125,341,943 tonnes (171 reporters); 1 reporter present in 2020 (13,201 tonnes, Nicaragua) is absent in 2024, while no new reporters joined. China added 15,926,700 tonnes (up 38.7 percent), accounting for 95.6 percent of the increase, while Brazil added 876,849 tonnes (up 19.6 percent) and Vietnam 855,000 tonnes (up 29.2 percent). Percentage changes use the corresponding value in the earlier year as the base. Yearly totals sum FAO Crops and Livestock Products production quantity (Element 5510) for item Meat of pig with the bone; fresh or chilled, 2020-2024. For bone-in pig meat production, quantities below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimals and larger quantities are shown as whole tonnes. The 2024 bone-in pig meat production ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities. In the bone-in pig meat production data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For bone-in pig meat production changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Production quantities are reported to FAO by national statistical sources.
