But if the pig price is catastrophic then surely the problem is too much breeding stock, not too little finishing space?
Lack of staff at the processors (we are told) has led to a backing up of pigs on finishing farms, hence more finishing accommodation required, adding to what was already a tight situation, compounded by most breeders simply getting better at their job and churning out more piglets.
The sow herd has been falling for a few months now and it will take a few more for the drop in numbers to feed through.
There will, for the forseeable future, be a strong demand for good quality finishing accommodation.
