French pig farms are facing a crisis due to rising energy costs and pig feed prices, leading to a loss of competitiveness and potential relocation of production. The national pork trade association, INAPORC, has called for additional measures to prevent the disappearance of many pig farms. The situation is worsened by excess cost of electricity and a reliance on imported pork. Without action from public authorities and without passing the energy cost increase to consumers, there are fears of a further drop in the price of pork purchased from breeders.
