History, tradition and origin
Pork is the most widely eaten meat in East Asia and much of Europe. A whole roast pig marks weddings, festivals and new year in places from China and the Philippines to Spain and Hawaii. Cantonese roast meat shops hang glazed pork and crackling belly in their windows, and in Mexico pork is simmered slowly in its own fat.
Food economy and industry
China produces and eats about half of the world's pork. Pigs convert feed to meat efficiently and breed quickly, which keeps pork cheaper than beef. The industry ranges from backyard pens to very large integrated farms. Disease outbreaks such as African swine fever have at times cut herds sharply and moved prices worldwide.
