Mexico has increased its production of pig meat for the first two months of the year, according to official data released by the Ministry of Agriculture. 5,000 tonnes of pork (+2%) have been added in January and February this year, an increase that keeps pace with the results observed in 2021.

Currently, Mexico is ranked as the world's 13th producer of pork and is able to export products to Japan, the United States, Singapore, Canada, South Korea, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Chile and China. Last year, the volume of pork exports surpassed 250,000 tonnes.
