So Norway and the UK are no longer part of Europe? I’m going with EU rather than Europe here…
And congratulations España… jamón, jamón!
we have a lot of them in our parliament, you’ll be surprised
ewww pig
Is it counting the gypsy population also?
Spaniard here. I work in the meat industry. The largest porcine slaughterhouse in Spain processes 30,000 pigs a day. Yes, a day. And there are plenty of other factories doing around 10K/day.
A huge percentage of our pork is exported all around the world. Spain’s main customers in the meat trade are Asian countries, especially after the huge African Swine Fever virus outbreak that ravaged the pig population in China some years ago.
I’m going to guess that this is EU only. The UK, Ukraine and Russia would have a few..
I thought spain has only 24 million pigs, half of population. 😁 (Its a joke, Spanians are good people)
Spain, wtf?
Why so many cops?
Yeah, lately there’s so much news about how we’re dependent on pork products from abroad, because it’s just cheaper (looking at you, Spain)
Adjust for size if country and start wondering where the Danes actually live..
Spain should reduce its population to a smaller size so that it will no longer become dependent on agricultural exportations. Agricultural sector does promote employment and enhance exportation and gain income, but it is only suitable for countries with fewer population, like Denmark, Norway and New Zealand. If Spanish population is the same as New Zealand, it would become richer even dependent on agricultural sector without manufacturing industries.
Spain is compensating to show that they aren’t the 30 kg meat per year per capita backwater anymore that they were in 1970’s Franco Spain.
Always Turkey in every map and graphics but not today ahah
Eu*?
Oink oink!!!
As a Spaniard I can confirm this data, since most Germans and Brits vacation here.
Seems a lot of European nations missing from that chart.
