INTERPORC: Spanish pork, a perfect choice for all palates

After several years of decline, pork consumption experienced a slight rebound in 2023, which translated into even greater growth in 2024. In total, Spaniards consumed 816,500 tons of pork that year, an increase of 2.84%. This increase has led to spending on pork exceeding €7.7 billion, a 5.6% increase.

Why is pork gaining ground on Spanish menus? Flavor, versatility, ease of preparation, and nutritional value are the keys to its success. From a simple grilled sirloin steak to a pork cheek stew, pork offers a wide range of options for every taste, need, and culinary skill.

But there's another determining factor: the trust it inspires. Spain is a world leader in pork production and has developed a production model that guarantees food safety, animal welfare, and sustainability. Consumers are increasingly receiving more information on this subject and appreciate it, which has contributed to strengthening their preference for pork over other proteins.

It is not in vain that the Interprofessional Agro-Food of White Pork ( INTERPORC ), the organization that represents the sector, makes a significant effort in communication to convey to society the benefits of pork in a balanced diet, as well as the constant advances that are being made in areas such as food safety, traceability or animal welfare.

Thanks to this, pork is not only perceived as an accessible, tasty, and healthy product within a balanced consumption, but also as a sustainable option.

With these data on the table, everything points to pork continuing to reign supreme in Spanish homes while contributing to a nutritious and healthy diet.
