EU-27: Livestock and Products Semi-annual

In 2019, the EU swine sector took full advantage of the surge in demand from China as nearly two-thirds of China’s imports were sourced from the EU. Good profit margins for the sector led to an expansion of the EU breeding herd in 2019, which is expected to lead to another pork export record in 2020. Spain is accounting for most of the export growth and is surpassing Germany as the biggest pork producer in the EU. Unlike swine, the total EU cattle herd is shrinking due to a lack of profit margins in the dairy and beef sector. Exceptions are in the dairy herd in Ireland and the beef herd in Spain, Italy, and Central Europe.
