# Weaker demand raises uncertainty for 2027 global pork outlook - Agriland.ie

> Rabobank's Q4 2026 global pork report says weaker demand is pressuring year-end pork markets and creating uncertainty for 2027 production. Pork prices remain below 2025 levels in most markets, and Europe faces large domestic supplies and export disruption. Brazilian pork exports reached 1.2 million tonnes in September, up 6.5% year on year.

## Why it matters

Weaker pork demand and expected herd contraction in Europe and elsewhere could reduce feed demand for hogs over time. Persistent low pork prices point to softer hog-related feed usage into 2027.
