Today, industrialised countries account for only around 1/3 of global production of and demand for pork, and their share is falling. In the longer term, population growth and rapidly rising incomes, and thus meat consumption per capita, in the low- and middle-income countries will buoy up pork prices, although production is also increasing in these countries.
The OECD, and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO, have projected food prices over the next 7-8 years. The OECD/FAO expect the price of pork to rise slightly to somewhere in the range of kr. 9.5-10 per kg. These are current prices, which means that in actual fact pork prices will continue to fall.
