INTERPORC: "Spain is the second world exporter of pork"
García, who offered a current overview of the white layer pig sector, explained that the pig sector is a national and international leader, thanks, among other things, "to the values of its professionals, who have contributed to its success and growth of the last years".
Among these values he highlighted: "we are a very associative, participative and active sector"; a clear example is found in the good relationship we maintain with the national administrations and with the European authorities”.
In addition, he added, "Spain is the second world exporter of pork" and a good part of that success has been forged thanks to the solid relations established with the destination countries". For example, García pointed out, "we have a great commercial position in China, which is the main destination for our exports, and we maintain a good relationship with the embassy and the authorities of that country".
The protection of the rural world was another of the points on which the president of INTERPORC had the most influence. "We will continue defending the interests of agriculture and livestock in the rural world, contributing to their economy as before, bringing the industry to small towns and being leaders in animal welfare and sustainability".
Both economic and social work that has made the white-coated pig sector one of the most important in Spain, and a reality that, in García's opinion, was endorsed during the pandemic.
