The latest BPEX Quarterly Report is available giving an overview of what is happening in the retail market.
The report, which covers both home-produced and imported, shows, for example, for sausages and bacon, both expenditure and volume are up.
Overall, for the last 52 weeks ending on Christmas Day, pork sales are up 2.4% in value and 0.8% in value.
BPEX Head of Supply Chain Development Andrew Knowles said: “The report paints a picture of the sales of pork, bacon and ham in figures.
“It shows the top four retailers are responsible for 72% of all the pork sold in this country. It is an important publication for people in that sector as it gives them the background information they need to read the market.”
