In the case of sales, the pork industry attributed the increase of $ in 2014 and this year to an increase in the price of beef. Additionally, the increase in the number of outlets is another factor that explains part of the growth, according comments made by Antonio said Sujo, general manager of the slaughterhouse Cacique in an article on Elnuevodiario.com.ni. "Sujo said there has also been a growth in formal channels such as supermarkets like Walmart of Mexico and Central America, La Colonia and Price Smart."

Other market participants do not share this view. The president of the Chamber of Pork Producers of Nicaragua (Canipor) Marcos Umanzor said that "... 'all of the pork that is distributed in supermarkets is imported from the United States."Umanzor confirmed that there has been a growth in sales and consumption of pork, because it went from two kilograms per capita per year to three kilograms. The same conclusion was reached in a consolidation made between official statistics and those of Canipor, Umanzor said. "

The President of Canipor "... estimated that growth in production in 2015 will be similar in 2014, of 5%."
