# Quarterly Review and Outlook - Pork Checkoff

> Pork Checkoff's quarterly review raised 2026 pork production forecasts to up 1.2% from a year earlier, with hog and cutout prices below earlier projections. Weakness in bellies and hams, tied to sluggish foodservice demand and softer export buying, was the largest drag.
