UK's pork production up 8%
The average cost of production in the EU also increased, to £1.36 per kg, a 7% increase, in sterling terms. The report says that, in contrast with 2016, this reflects an increase in the costs of production across all sampled EU countries. Comparing Great Britain’s cost of production with that of one of its main competitors, Denmark’s cost of production during 2017 was a much lower £1.18 per kg.
The report also shows an increase, once again, in the overall average number of pigs weaned per sow per year in the 17 countries included in the analysis, up from 27.32 in 2016 to 27.9 in 2017, representing nearly a 2% increase.
"The latest of the annual Pig Cost of Production in Selected Countries reports provides producers with a wealth of information about the country’s technical performance, and enables them to compare their performance with their competitors. New to the 2017 report is data from Hungary, which has been included for the first time," AHDB's statement read.
