Pig sector calls for £3 2m government aid package

Pig sector calls for £3.2m government aid package >More in © Tim Scrivener The pig sector has requested £3.2m in government support to compensate farmers for poor prices and lost trade due to Brexit, Covid-19 and African swine fever (ASF). The package was formally requested by the National Pig Association (NPA), which has been engaged in weekly crisis meetings with Defra and supply chain bodies since February. Supply chain representatives had initially wished to avoid calling for government backing, instead pinning hopes on marketing initiatives to bolster incomes. However, marketing drives such as price cuts and promotions have failed to tackle the depth of hardship being encountered on farms. More than 75% of farmers are operating at a loss of about £25 a pig, according to the NPA.
