This was mainly result of increased supplies to EU countries.©Currently Spain remains the world’s fourth largest supplier of pork – after Germany, Denmark and the US.
Most of the Spanish pork is supplied to France, which accounted around 30% of the country’s total exports.©Moreover, this year, France has imported about 22% more pork from Spain than during the same period of last year.
Shipments to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, which usually do not import large quantities of pork from Spain, have also significantly increased.
