No profit — no pigs, warns Campbell
Former NPA regions manager Ian Campbell will present his RAC/PIC 2007 Pig Fellowship Report mapping the changes ahead in an expanded European Union marketplace, at the British Pig and Poultry Fair from 4pm on day one in the Forum Theatre.
In his report, Ian Campbell will outline the serious challenges facing British pig producers — he will also highlight the advantages of producing pig meat in this country.
But in his conclusion he will stress that the industry cannot have a future unless genuinely sustainable supply chains to the consumer are allowed to develop.
"These cannot be sustainable if each link in the chain is not efficient but there has to be a recognition that each link has to be profitable if it is to be there for the future”.
"As a way of life, pig farming has much to commend it, but alongside that satisfaction, the business has to be financially rewarding if it is to be continued”.
"The phrase 'You can’t eat the scenery' has been used in another context but seems to me to be quite appropriate when applied to the pig producer in this country."
