Pig Meat, Salted, Dried or Smoked (Bacon and Ham) Consumption by Country
The United States had the largest listed food supply of salted, dried or smoked pig meat in 2023, at 2,622,818 tonnes, or about 71.5 percent of the 3,667,401-tonne total reported across 167 countries. China ranked second at 262,971 tonnes, followed by the United Kingdom at 166,186 tonnes. The United States also had the highest listed supply per person, at 20.92 grams a day, ahead of the Bahamas at 16.74 grams and the Netherlands at 13.58 grams. These FAO figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually ate.
Poland placed fourth by volume at 102,078 tonnes, and the three leading countries together accounted for about 83.2 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. France recorded the largest decline by tonnage from 2022 to 2023, losing 24,428 tonnes, down 34.4 percent to 46,506 tonnes. The United Kingdom lost 18,239 tonnes, down 9.9 percent, and Kenya shed 8,391 tonnes, down 32.6 percent. China added 6,910 tonnes, up 2.7 percent, the Netherlands added 16,127 tonnes, up 21.9 percent, and the United States added 52,090 tonnes, up 2.0 percent. The shared 2022-2023 total rose from 3,639,479 tonnes to 3,667,401 tonnes, up 27,922 tonnes, or 0.8 percent, with Jamaica the only country to stop reporting and none to start. Between 2019 and 2023, the 162 countries with a value in both years rose from 3,576,819 tonnes by 90,547 tonnes, or 2.5 percent. The Netherlands recorded the largest increase, adding 68,939 tonnes, up 332.4 percent, while China added 29,439 tonnes, up 12.6 percent, and Poland added 25,783 tonnes, up 33.8 percent. Australia recorded the largest decline, losing 57,561 tonnes, down 51.1 percent, while Denmark shed 12,561 tonnes and Germany gave up 7,531 tonnes, down 54.5 percent. Seven countries had a 2019 value but no 2023 value, including Cuba with 447.08 tonnes, while five had a 2023 value but no 2019 value. Both counts describe data availability only, not changes in national supply. The United States recorded 20.92 grams a day in 2023, ahead of the Bahamas at 16.74 grams in second and the Netherlands at 13.58 grams in third. Grenada sat fourth at 10.72 grams, with Hungary at 8.98 grams and Denmark at 8.46 grams. The same country therefore holds both the largest national total and the highest per-person figure, although its margin over the Bahamas per person is about a quarter rather than a multiple. Salted, dried or smoked pig meat available for human consumption is 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. Twelve countries reported zero in 2023, including Spain, Türkiye and Yemen, while Saudi Arabia fell from 41.39 tonnes in 2022. A reported zero is a recorded value and a blank cell is missing data, so the seven countries without a 2023 value cannot be read as zero supply. Zero entries deserve a source check before any conclusion is drawn from them. 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, cuts, salted, dried or smoked (bacon and ham), over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum country records with reported values, excluding regional and aggregate records. Of the 174 country rows, 167 reported a value in 2023 and 155 of those were above zero. Comparisons between two years use only countries with values at both endpoints, which gives 167 countries for 2022-2023 and 162 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.
