Pig survey will gauge industry confidence

Producers and others from the pig supply chain have been urged to take part in the annual confidence survey carried out by BPEX.

Questionnaires have just gone out to farmers, vets, retailers, civil servants and the allied industry and the survey should provide a vital snapshot of the industry and how confidence has changed from previous years.

It also asks whether people think BPEX is meeting the needs of the industry and gives respondents the opportunity to suggest what the organisation should do, head of communications Andrew Knowles said.

Anybody who would like to take part but has not received a questionnaire can do so via the BPEX website.
