EDGING BACK AGAIN…
IT HAS been a long old slog. But pig prices are finally edging their way up towards break-even, providing some much needed hope for the industry.

Surviving the crisis has been a struggle for most producers. But ensuring your business is prepared to take advantage of better prices – and service debt – is vitally important.
