# Pork Market: Supply Pressure and Unprofitable Production

> EU pork production rose 1.4% year over year in 2026, while exports to non-EU countries increased only 0.8%, leaving surplus supply on the internal market. Pork prices were about 17.5% below a year earlier, and Polish hog producers faced lower selling prices alongside higher feed costs.

## Why it matters

Production growth outpacing export growth leaves more pork in the EU market and weighs on prices, with further pressure on hog returns. This is bearish for hogs and keeps producer margins tight.
