The pork industry is one of the sectors where growth has taken off considerably and it has shown considerable strength over the last 20 years. Exports almost doubled in the two-year period to 2008, to 1.255mn tonnes, while notable pork consuming nations.
Processed pork currently represents a paltry 5% of entire Spanish pork exports, underpinning our view that such goods will play a larger role in future pork production decisions- and help drive pork output growth of 7.1% in the four year period ending in 2013.
