Pork gains presence on Spanish tables
This growth marks a shift in trends that began the previous year, following a period of slight decline. It has been further accelerated by a 3.5% increase in fresh pork purchases and a 0.8% rise in processed pork products. Overall, Spanish households have consumed more than 817,000 tons of pork, spending over €7.7 billion on this product - representing nearly half of total meat expenditure.
Beyond the figures, what drives this preference? Obviously, among these factors are its flavour, its ease of preparation and its adaptability to all types of recipes, from traditional to the most modern. These attributes make it an irresistible choice. Additionally, its nutritional profile makes it suitable for different life stages: children, active adults, or elderly can all benefit from its properties.
Added to this is a key element: trust. Spain is a global leader in pork production, thanks to a model based on food safety, animal welfare, and environmental commitment. These guarantees, reinforced by the outreach work of the White Pork Interprofessional Association (INTERPORC), have strengthened the bond between consumers and the sector.
For all these reasons, pork stands out not only for its presence in the daily cuisine of Spaniards but also as a responsible and sustainable choice for those seeking a healthy diet. And all indications suggest it will continue to hold a prominent place on Spanish family menus.
