About: Countries by Pig Livestock Population 2024
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by total pig population in 2024, measured in millions of head according to FAO data. China has the world's largest pig population by a dramatic margin — with approximately half of the world's total pig stock, some 440 million animals. Pork is the most consumed meat in China, making the pig industry a matter of national food security, and the 2018 African Swine Fever outbreak that decimated Chinese pig herds by over 40% triggered global pork price spikes that affected consumers on every continent.
