Decreases in pork production in other EU countries have created growth opportunities for Spanish pork producers, but the potential for increasing regulation and declining consumption of pork are causing concern.
Both threats could drive significant declines in EU pork production in the years ahead. The ATM team discusses the situation with Albert Morera at one of the EU’s largest pork producers, the Vall Companys. Mr. Morera is director general of pork and livestock divisions.

These and other PRRS recommendations are featured in the At The Meeting team’s conversation with Dr. Carles Vilalta (Institute of AgriFood Research and Technology in Spain), and with Dr. Cesar Corzo (University of Minnesota).
