Thailand's Northern Swine Raisers Association is calling for government and political party intervention to address issues threatening the pork production sector. The association highlights the challenge of 'savage pigs', illegal smuggling, and lack of harsh penalties as factors contributing to the problem. They also emphasize the need for a plan to suppress illegal pork to stabilize the industry and ensure consumer health. Additionally, they point out the significant drop in live pig prices, which is partly due to smuggling, and the challenges of high feed costs and disease prevention. The association stresses the importance of action to ensure the sustainability of the pork industry and the livelihoods of farmers.
