Vietnam has been recorded as the country with the highest pork\nconsumption in Southeast Asia, while Indonesia has the lowest, according\nto data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 2020.\nVietnamese citizens consume approximately 38.2 kilogrammes of pork per\nperson each year, a figure that far surpasses other ASEAN nations.<\/p>\n
Singapore ranks second with consumption reaching 22 kilogrammes per\ncapita per year, followed by Myanmar in third place with around 20.1\nkilogrammes. The high consumption of pork in several ASEAN countries\nindicates that pork remains an important part of the local diet and\nculinary culture. The Philippines consumes about 14.5 kilogrammes per\nperson per year, Laos 13.5 kilogrammes, and Thailand 13.1\nkilogrammes.<\/p>\n
Timor-Leste recorded consumption of 11.5 kilogrammes per capita,\nwhilst Malaysia stood at 7.4 kilogrammes and Cambodia at 5.9 kilogrammes\nper person per year. In contrast to other countries in the region,\nIndonesia is the country with the lowest pork consumption in Southeast\nAsia, at only about 0.9 kilogrammes per capita per year. This low\nconsumption is influenced by Indonesia\u2019s large Muslim population, which\ndoes not consume pork, as well as differing food preferences across the\ncountry\u2019s various regions.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/vietnam-not-indonesia-tops-asean-in-pork-consumption-1784771476", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
