        "content": "<p>ASEAN Countries with the Highest Pork Consumption<\/p>\n<p>In Southeast Asia, pork consumption remains relatively high in\nseveral countries. Vietnam is recorded as having the highest pork\nconsumption per capita in ASEAN in 2020. Based on annual per-capita pork\nconsumption data for 2020 cited from Seasia Stats, Vietnamese people\nconsume around 38.2 kilograms of pork per person per year, a figure well\nabove other Southeast Asian countries. In second place is Singapore with\nconsumption reaching 22 kilograms per capita per year. Myanmar ranks\nthird with about 20.1 kilograms. The high level of pork consumption in\nseveral ASEAN countries indicates that pork remains an important part of\ndietary patterns and culinary culture in the region.<\/p>\n<p>The Philippines, Laos, and Thailand also recorded double-digit\nconsumption. The Philippines consumes about 14.5 kilograms per person\nper year, Laos 13.5 kilograms, and Thailand 13.1 kilograms.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Timor-Leste recorded consumption of 11.5 kilograms per\ncapita. Malaysia stands at 7.4 kilograms and Cambodia 5.9 kilograms per\nperson per year.<\/p>\n<p>Different from other countries in the region, Indonesia is the\ncountry with the lowest pork consumption in Southeast Asia, at only\nabout 0.9 kilograms per capita per year. The relatively low consumption\nis influenced by the large Muslim population in Indonesia who do not\nconsume pork. Additionally, dietary preferences across various regions\nof Indonesia differ from several other ASEAN countries.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the per-capita pork consumption list for Southeast Asia in\n2020:<\/p>\n<ol type=\"1\">\n<li><p>Vietnam: 38.2 kg<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Singapore: 22 kg<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Myanmar: 20.1 kg<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Philippines: 14.5 kg<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Laos: 13.5 kg<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Thailand: 13.1 kg<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Timor-Leste: 11.5 kg<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Malaysia: 7.4 kg<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Cambodia: 5.9 kg<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Indonesia: 0.9 kg<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>",
