Indian butcher chopping pork ribs

An Indian butcher chops pork ribs at a shop.
Pork production in India is limited, representing only 7% of the country’s animal protein sources. Production is concentrated mainly in the northeastern corner of the country and consists primarily of backyard and informal sector producers (refer Table 2). According to 18th Livestock Census of India (2007), the total swine population, while small, has grown consistently over the past 50 years. However, in the most recent decade, the population has
declined to approximately 12 million head from a high of 14 million in 2003, as indicated by the 17th Livestock Census of India. The major reason for this decline may be due to animal disease outbreaks. The Indian market for processed pork products is small, and the majority of this market is supplied through imports. Although there are some local companies which manufacture processed products such as sausages and bacon, quantities are limited and the industry is small. According to MoFPI, there are 3600 slaughter houses in India, although the majority of these facilities do not export. There is a small number of abattoirs in India which meet international standards. However, these facilities do not process pork meat.
In the next ten years, it is predicted that the total consumption of meat in India will double from its present numbers. As per capita income of individuals rises, they tend to spend on improving their lifestyle and food consumption habits.
Pork consumption is negligible in India, with the exception of the north-east while it is a major item elsewhere. In the European Union, 42.6 kg pork is consumed per person every year, while in the US, 29.7 kgs are consumed. Pork is a staple for Chinese, and so over 35 kg are consumed per person per year. India’s consumption levels of Pork meat are significantly low when compared to other meats, for example, 1.6 kg per person per year for Beef and 1.9 kg per person per annum for poultry meat. The total world consumption of meat is estimated to be of the order of 240 million tons per annum and India’s share of consumption is only 2.2%.
