By 1700, pigs became integral to Creole agriculture and cuisine in the Caribbean, following the region's colonization. Their adaptability and ability to thrive in diverse environments made them a valuable resource for food production. The incorporation of pigs into local farming practices significantly influenced culinary traditions and agricultural systems in the Caribbean.

The introduction of pigs in Caribbean Creole agriculture around 1700 featured prominently in poetry blending African, European, and indigenous traditions. Poets like Derek Walcott and Kamau Brathwaite celebrated the cultural fusion and agricultural heritage in their works.
