MEXICO - Mexico’s pork industry is projecting to expand a little bit further on international markets with a clear focus in Asia. With 1.4 million tons of pork production projected for 2016 (USDA projection), Mexico is still far to be self-sufficient. It is estimated that consumption of pork in Mexico would increase 3.3 per cent during 2016, to stand at 2.2 million tons (carcass). Since 2012 Mexico has expanded pork exports about 30 per cent (2012, 70,000 tons – 2015, 100,000 tons), writes Fernando Ortiz, Genesus Ibero-American Business Development .
