        "summary": "Vietnam recorded the region\u2019s highest per-capita pork consumption in 2020, at 38.2 kilograms per person, while Indonesia had the lowest, at 0.9 kilograms. The figures, based on FAO data, reflect differing food preferences across Southeast Asia, including the influence of Indonesia\u2019s large Muslim population.",
        "content": "<p>Pork consumption varies considerably across Southeast Asia. Vietnam\nhad the region\u2019s highest per-capita consumption in 2020, while Indonesia\nranked last, with a markedly lower level than other ASEAN countries.<\/p>\n<p>According to 2020 data from the Food and Agriculture Organization\n(FAO), cited by Seasia Stats on Tuesday (19 May 2026), pork consumption\nin Vietnam was around 38.2 kilograms per person per year. This placed\nVietnam first and highlighted the significant role of pork in the\ncountry\u2019s food consumption patterns.<\/p>\n<p>Singapore followed in second place, at around 22 kilograms per person\nper year. Myanmar ranked third, at 20.1 kilograms. These three countries\nrecorded relatively high levels of consumption compared with others in\nthe region.<\/p>\n<p>The Philippines, Laos and Thailand also reported double-digit\nconsumption. The Philippines consumed around 14.5 kilograms per person\nper year, Laos 13.5 kilograms and Thailand 13.1 kilograms.<\/p>\n<p>Timor-Leste recorded consumption of 11.5 kilograms per person.\nMalaysia stood at 7.4 kilograms and Cambodia at 5.9 kilograms per person\nper year.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, Indonesia had the lowest pork consumption in Southeast\nAsia, at only around 0.9 kilograms per person per year.<\/p>\n<p>The low level of consumption is influenced by Indonesia\u2019s large\nMuslim population, which does not eat pork. Food preferences in various\nparts of Indonesia also differ from those in several other ASEAN\ncountries.<\/p>\n<p>The following is the list of per-capita pork consumption in Southeast\nAsia, based on 2020 FAO data:<\/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>",
