Wholesale pork prices are at their highest since 1997. Pork bellies and ham stockpiles are also up from 2010. Pork belly stockpiles are up 28% from 2010 numbers.

U.S. pig meat stockpiles increased 22% in May, according to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture report, due largely to rising meat prices that have curbed consumer demand.
