Pig farming in Mato Grosso do Sul has established itself as a modern, productive, and high-quality activity. The state has the sixth largest production in the country, with more than 100,000 pigs, and is expected to grow by 49% in three years.
Data from the Famasul System's Technical Department shows that in 2022 the state produced 3.023 million animals, an increase of 55% compared to 2017 when it slaughtered 1.950 million head. Pork production in Mato Grosso also showed good numbers, rising from 148,000 tons in 2017 to 240,000 last year, an increase of 62%.
Access to rural credit, one of the main forms of financing available to producers, has grown in Mato Grosso do Sul. Another financial stimulus offered is Leitão Vida, a state government program that aims to expand pig farming in a modern, competitive way, with the capacity to meet the most demanding markets.
With increased efficiency on farms, pork from Mato Grosso do Sul meets domestic consumption and is already recognized as a product of excellence abroad. Between January and June 2023, the state sold US$ 22.45 million and 9.81 thousand tons of pork to 17 countries. The main destinations are Hong Kong, Singapore, Uruguay, and the United Arab Emirates.
