Spain - Notable increase in pig meat exports

According to figures from the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, the beginning of the Plan for Improved Accessibility of Livestock Products To Foreign Markets has already given rise to a notable increase in exports, especially in the swine sector which currently exports more than 940,000 tonnes of meat which represents over 26% of total production. In 2008 there was an increase of 24% compared to 2007, with an increase of 15% for European Union countries and an increase of 57.5% to other countries. (Original in Spanish.
