Pork is the most popular meat in Austria. It is cheap and pleasant, eaten as a schnitzel, roast, meat loaf, bacon or sausages. Annual per capita consumption is around 34 kilograms. Nevertheless, many pig farmers give up, 25 years ago there were five times as many: Pork “in action” often costs only 6 euros per kilo.
