Guatemala imports mostly frozen pork meat, offal, and hams. The United States accounts for nearly all Guatemalan pork imports, with additional volumes mostly purchased from Mexico and the European Union.
In 2023, import values of U.S. pork meat and products grew to a record at $103 million, up 29% from the year before.
Guatemala’s pork consumption has room for additional growth. According to Food and Agriculture Organization data, Guatemala has the lowest pork consumption per capita in Central America, well below Costa Rica and Panama. If prices remain affordable to consumers, U.S. pork exports to Guatemala should continue to grow.
