Pig Meat Preparations Consumption by Country
The United States had the largest listed supply of pig meat preparations in 2023, at 1,070,223 tonnes, or about 52.3 percent of the listed total. China ranked second at 455,721 tonnes, followed by the United Kingdom at 88,439 tonnes. New Caledonia recorded the highest per-person supply, at 21.57 grams a day. The listed 2023 total was 2,046,699 tonnes, and 171 of the 174 country rows reported a value for that year. These figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually ate.
Hong Kong placed fourth by volume at 40,618 tonnes, and the United States, China and the United Kingdom together accounted for about 78.9 percent of the listed 2023 total. Total tonnage shows the scale of the recorded national supply, while grams per person per day gives a population-adjusted comparison, so the two rankings can differ. The United Kingdom lost 9,109 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, down 9.3 percent to 88,439 tonnes. The Philippines lost 6,626 tonnes, down 49.7 percent, Hong Kong shed 4,488 tonnes, down 10.0 percent, and Ukraine shed 3,561 tonnes. China added 17,589 tonnes, up 4.0 percent, and the United States added 87,022 tonnes, up 8.9 percent. Russia recorded 3,157 tonnes against 29.28 tonnes a year earlier. The countries with a value in both years cover every reporting country, so that shared total rose from 1,961,136 tonnes to 2,046,699 tonnes, up 85,563 tonnes, or 4.4 percent. Between 2019 and 2023, the 164 countries with a value in both years rose from 2,012,345 tonnes to 2,043,085 tonnes, up 30,740 tonnes, or 1.5 percent. This 2023 total is the sum for that shared set alone, smaller than the full-year total. China added the most, at 82,632 tonnes, up 22.2 percent. Belgium added 10,780 tonnes, up 127.1 percent, and Brazil added 8,978 tonnes from a 97.70-tonne base. The United Kingdom lost 38,215 tonnes, down 30.2 percent, Hong Kong shed 33,242 tonnes, down 45.0 percent, and Moldova gave up 7,993 tonnes, down 93.1 percent. Seven countries entered this comparison with no 2019 value, and none of the countries reporting both endpoints dropped out. New Caledonia recorded the highest listed supply per person in 2023, at 21.57 grams a day, ahead of Hong Kong at 14.95 grams in second and Macau at 14.05 grams in third. Nauru sat fourth at 13.01 grams, with the Marshall Islands at 10.99 grams and Luxembourg at 10.66 grams. The United States, first by volume, also ranked ninth per person at 8.54 grams, so tonnage and per-person figures do not always point to the same countries. Pig meat preparations available for human consumption are recorded in tonnes and in grams per person per day for each reporting country over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum reporting countries only. Total tonnage and the per-person measure describe different aspects of the same recorded supply, and neither one shows how much people actually ate. Eight countries reported zero in 2023, including Czechia at 19.88 tonnes in 2022, Saudi Arabia at 0.46 tonnes and Syria at 0.01 tonnes. A reported zero is a recorded value, while a blank cell is missing data, so Cuba, Kuwait and Turkmenistan, which have no 2023 value, cannot be read as zero supply. The source is FAOSTAT Supply Utilization Accounts. Element 5141 reports food supply quantity in tonnes and element 665 reports it in grams per capita per day, for pig meat preparations over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum country records with reported values, excluding regional and aggregate records. Of the 174 country rows, 171 reported a value in 2023 and 163 of those were above zero. Comparisons between two years use only countries with values at both endpoints, which gives 171 countries for 2022-2023 and 164 for 2019-2023, and the country count and both totals come from that shared set. Percentage changes use the earlier year as the base and are not calculated when that base is zero. Reported zeros are kept as values, blank cells are treated as missing, and values under 1,000 tonnes are shown to two decimals.

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
Which country had the highest pig meat preparations supply per person in 2023?
New Caledonia ranked first at 21.57 grams per person per day, followed by Hong Kong at 14.95 grams and Macau at 14.05 grams in second and third place.
What share of the total came from the United States?
The United States accounted for about 52.3 percent of the 2,046,699 tonnes listed for 2023, while China and the United Kingdom ranked second and third by volume.
How much did the listed supply in the United Kingdom change in 2023?
It fell by 9,109 tonnes, from 97,548 tonnes in 2022 to 88,439 tonnes in 2023, which is a decline of about 9.3 percent for that year.
Do these figures show how much pig meat preparations people actually ate?
No. They measure food available for human consumption rather than actual intake, so the figures describe national availability and not what each individual person consumed.
Which country recorded the largest increase between 2019 and 2023?
China rose by 82,632 tonnes, from 373,089 tonnes to 455,721 tonnes, an increase of about 22.2 percent among the countries with comparable values in both years.
