U.S. pork production is forecast to hit 27.2 billion pounds for 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s November 2023 U.S. red meat and poultry forecast, marking a slight increase from USDA’s 2022 production total of just under 27 billion pounds.
America’s pig farmers produced a record-breaking number of market hogs in 2016, resulting in ample supplies of pork at the retail meat case and in restaurants.
Pork has been a great value this year, especially compared with other proteins in the meat case that have been experiencing supply issues and higher prices.
