UK pork production down in November
AHDB analyst, Bethan Wilkins, said that the production is lower than expected due to poor demand from abattoirs.
Clean pig slaughterings totaled 952,800 head, which was 3% lower compared to November 2017. The overall decline was due to a slowdown in slaughtering across England, here production fell by 5% compared to a year ago. Still, Wilkins said, there have been reported increases both in Scotland and Northern Ireland, by 49% and 1%, respectively.
Wilikins added that the lower slaughterings were emphasised by lighter carcase weights. The average clean pig carcase weighed 83.9kg during November, around 300g lower than a year before.
