Pork producers could be expecting a slightly better year in 2024 despite ongoing challenges like plant closures and increased production.
While 2023 marked historic losses, a lead economist for Ever.Ag says this year will show some improvement, with projected losses per head reduced to just more than $2 from almost $28 last year. He notes the pork export market has been strong with Mexico now being the number one importer of U.S. pork, surpassing Japan and South Korea.
