A European reflection group has recommended limiting the concentration of pork production to address challenges such as price volatility, African swine fever, and rising production costs. The group's report also suggests improving risk management, reducing dependence on markets like China, optimizing waste management, and strengthening animal health and welfare measures. The report highlights the fragile state of the sector, with concerns about the decline in the number of pig farms, especially small ones, and the environmental impact of the concentration of production in some regions. The group recommends promoting cooperation among producers and short supply networks, and developing sustainable manure management solutions.
