Pig sector struggles under Spanish pressure

The outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) among wild boars in Barcelona last week marks the pig market. At the beginning of this week, everyone tried to prevent panic and maintain calm as much as possible. However, the pressure on the supply chain has significantly increased in recent days. The meat market is full, and the decline in Spanish demand for piglets is becoming an increasing problem. The sector is preparing for a period where costs are not covered.
