Pork production is set to increase in 2015 due to forecasted lower feed prices and increased productivity according to the European Commission Short Term Outlook report.
Last year, production volumes varied across countries with increases of 4% in Spain, the UK, and Portugal, a 5% increase in the Netherlands, and a -1% fall in Germany and -2% in Italy.
Exports in 2015 are set to be more positive this year as demand from Asia remains strong and lower feed prices will boost productivity.
