Outlook for 2023 is positive (National Hog Farmer)

With total U.S. red meat production projected to be down 3.7% in 2023, what about demand for U.S. pork?

For 2023, in the face of a rapid decline in beef production, and a corresponding rise in beef prices, with no recession, I'm projecting continued strong demand for U.S. Regarding lean hog futures prices, in the short term, because many hogs were backed up over the holiday's due to normal disruptions and due to some extreme weather conditions, I'm projecting lower to sharply lower prices during the first three weeks of the year. In terms of meat production, be aware that many are projecting a world meat shortage to develop in the coming years. The degree or depth of recession is impossible to predict. My sources estimate that late in the first quarter or early in the second quarter such pent-up demand will begin to hit the world market. In addition, in the case of pork, production is projected to fall substantially in Europe. The lower participation rate, a concern for many, appears to be a function of the aging baby boomers. beef production, that is projected to last several years, is likely the start of this world meat shortage. Finally, it also appears that the industry has sort of hit a brick wall in terms of efficiency. The September/November pig crop is pegged at 33.7 million, down 3.5% from the record high Septempter/November pig crop of 2020. In fact, its rather alarming that these large independent producers are willing to simply exit the business. The exact situation in China is unknown.
