Biggest Pork Producers

One of the biggest pork producers in the world is WH Group, a Chinese company that is also the largest pork company globally. WH Group was formerly known as Shuanghui International Holdings Limited before its acquisition of Smithfield Foods in 2013, which was the largest-ever acquisition of an American company by a Chinese corporation at that time.

WH Group operates in over 30 countries and has more than 70,000 employees worldwide. The company focuses on pork production, processing, and distribution. Its products range from fresh and frozen pork to processed meat products such as sausages, ham, and bacon. WH Group owns well-known brands like Smithfield, Farmland, and Eckrich.

Another major player in the global pork industry is JBS, a Brazilian company and one of the largest meat producers in the world. While JBS is primarily known for its beef production, it is also a significant pork producer. The company operates in more than 20 countries and has a strong presence in North America, Europe, and Australia. JBS Pork exports its products to over 60 countries worldwide. Pork products produced by JBS include various cuts of pork, processed meats, and value-added products.

Smithfield Foods, prior to its acquisition by WH Group, was also a prominent pork producer. Smithfield was the largest pork producer in the United States, operating numerous farms and processing plants across the country. The company offered a wide range of pork products, including fresh pork, hams, bacon, and sausages. Smithfield Foods had established brands like Smithfield, Eckrich, and Farmland under its portfolio.

Hormel Foods Corporation is another significant player in the pork industry. Although Hormel Foods is a diversified food company that produces various products, it is renowned for its pork operations. The company owns brands like SPAM, Hormel, and Jennie-O. Hormel Foods produces a wide range of pork products, including fresh pork, bacon, sausages, and deli meats. The company is based in the United States and has a global presence, exporting its products to numerous countries.

These are just a few examples of the biggest pork producers in the world, but they demonstrate the global reach and prominence of the pork industry. Pork production is a vital sector within the food industry, meeting the growing demand for pork products around the world.
