CHILE - Per capita pork consumption in Chile has tripled in the last 30 years, from 5 kg to 16 kg, making pork the third most popular meat after chicken and beef. In an interview with ElSitio Porcino editor, Nuria Martínez Herráez, Rodrigo Castañón of the Chilean Pork Producers' Association, ASPROCER, explains that this growth is largely down to the health status of the country's pigs, product safety and an increase in the selection of cuts now available.
