Country by country, however, we\u2019re the second-largest, because the USDA and other agencies that record such data list the European Union &#8212; an agglomeration of 28 nations &#8212; as number two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Number one? As the trade publication National Hog Farmer puts it, \u201cChina has probably been the world\u2019s largest pork-producing country for as long as China has been a country.\u201d (In 2018, it accounted for 48% of the world\u2019s pork production.) The Chinese also consume almost two-and-a-half times what the entire EU does and more than five times what we Americans manage to eat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Per capita pork consumption in the U.S. has grown from 49.9 pounds in 2015 to 52.1 pounds last year. Industry analysts suggest that the ever-increasing popularity of Asian and Latin American cuisines, in which pork is frequently a centerpiece, might be contributing to the rise. The never-ending bacon \u201ctrend\u201d probably contributes, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The country\u2019s largest pork producer by far is Iowa, responsible for some 14.46 billion pounds in 2019 &#8212; roughly three times what the number-two state, Minnesota, Iowa\u2019s northern neighbor, manages. (It may or may not be coincidental that Iowa records the seventh-highest adult obesity rate in the country, according to <\/span><span>24\/7 Wall St.\u2019s special report on the healthiest states in America<\/span><span>.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As is the case with beef, tiny Rhode Island &#8212; our smallest state &#8212; takes last place in production, accounting for a total of only 638,000 pounds of pork in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Click here to see the state first in the nation for hog production.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/247wallst.com\/special-report\/2021\/03\/19\/this-state-is-first-in-the-nation-for-hog-production\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States is the world\u2019s third-largest producer and consumer of pork and pork products, according to the USDA Economic Research Service\u2019s report on hogs [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":110042,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
