# Smaller pork surplus in 2027 than previously forecast

> Norway's forecast shows a smaller increase in pork production and higher pork sales in 2027 than the September forecast, with a 2027 pork balance of +2,000 tonnes. Egg supply is also expected to be good, with a 2027 surplus of 2,900 tonnes, and the agency says measures may be needed to balance pork and eggs.

## Why it matters

A smaller pork surplus implies slightly tighter domestic pork supply, which modestly supports pork prices. The egg surplus points to ample supply and softer egg prices, reducing demand for egg-related feed ingredients.
