Pigs are farmed in many countries, though the leading consuming countries are in Asia. This is due to the significant international and even intercontinental trade in live and slaughtered pigs. Despite having the world's largest pig population, China is a net importer of pigs and has been increasing its imports during its economic development. The largest exporters of pigs are the United States, the European Union, and Canada.
