Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether she plans to provide immediate financial assistance or supply chain interventions to support UK independent pig farmers following price changes.
Answered by
Stephen Morgan
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)
The UK Agriculture Market Monitoring Group (UKAMMG), formed by Defra and the Devolved Governments, has routinely followed the changes in pigmeat prices, including their recent downturn after several years of strong prices.
The Department does not consider there is a case for support in the pig sector at this time but will continue to monitor the situation, including through the UKAMMG and regular engagement with industry.
