The European Pig Production Congress, held in Lithuania, running for three days has gained almost 300 delegates from 19 countries and is tackling the challenges created by the new pig housing regulations that is now 7 months away.
An article by Jackie Linden continues to list the topics tackled by the EPP Congress that include the difficulty in obtaining loans during this period of global recession; the behaviour of the consumer in paying higher prices for the production of pig meat; will cheaper imported meat from less economically developed countries be the choice of the consumer; as well as a focus on pig production in the Baltic Region.
More information can be found here, this page also has a link to related stories on the right hand side of the linked page.
More information on pigs and pig meat production can, of course, can be found at the BPEX homepage.
