What are the top challenges and opportunities of pig farming?

At the recent National Council meeting on 28 June, the council, which is representative of all production regions and most segments of the primary pork value chain, engaged on the significant changes in the macro-environment of the industry.

While we had everyone together in one place, we took the opportunity to ask the members some of our burning questions. Topics varied from what it means to be a pig farmer in 2022 to the future of agriculture and what it is that gives people hope for the future.

This is the second of these videos, where we asked about the top challenges and opportunities in pig farming.

The South African Pork Producers’ Organisation (SAPPO) coordinates industry interventions and collaboratively manages risks in the value chain to enable the sustainability and profitability of pork producers in South Africa.
