With pork production expected to be up more than 12 percent in 2017, abundant supplies mean pork will continue to be a good value for both retailers and consumers.
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.
For the fresh pork category, 2013 has been a strong year. With competing proteins increasing in price, retailers have been successful in aggressively featuring pork as a value product.
