15-Aug-2022ollie-leddyI have said it before and i repeat, Europe needs to reduce production by 20%, need to reduce the weight of non castrates going to slaughter so as to improve quality.This present crises precipatated by feed and energy costs should be used by producers to re-set with reduced numbers, increasing rearing space per pig, improved hygiene, less disease, all of which will increase profitability and pig welfare. Its a no-brainer.

28-Jan-2022ollie-leddyI said three years ago that the E.U Pig numbers needed to drop by 20%. What a shame that this has to happen by way of farmers going bust. The reduction should have taken place across the whole sector and could have been managed by all stakeholders in the business coming together. The retail sector have been awash with product, taking huge margins and telling farmers how to produce the product. A real scarcity of Q.A. product is badly needed in the marketplace to restore some sanity.

29-Nov-2021hjwang1995Great article! only one point I am not so sure is about the Chinese market. It is true that the pig price was increasing in the last few week, but I think that was a temporary recover drived by unsustainble factors. In short terms of six momth, I think the Chinese market will still go down, the live pig stock is still at historical high point anyway. As a importer in China, my strategy is still to wait.
From heaven to hell
At a time when everything seems to be going against us, there remains the hope that the cost of production in China is much higher than in Spain...

06-May-2022tpw429Guillem Burset great article! I was interested in the comment you made about pig producers losing money raising pigs. Is this something you calculated for the current time, or is there a widely available website that publishes estimated hogs to raise pigs for Europe?
