Between January and April, 2.37 million head have been slaughtered in Argentina and a record hog production is projected for this year. The Rosario Stock Exchange estimates that from May to December 2022, slaughter will reach 5.17 million head, with a total slaughter for 2022 of 7.53 million head.
Annual increases in pork consumption underpin and stimulate slaughter levels. The province of Buenos Aires concentrates half of the national hog slaughter, with about 51% of the production. It is followed by Santa Fe and Córdoba with 19% and 16%, respectively. The remaining 14% is distributed among the other provinces of the country, with Entre Ríos leading, which historically accounts for 4% of the national hog slaughter.
