How researchers and industry professionals use InterPIG data.

“We used InterPIG data to compare the technical performance and production costs of pig farming across selected EU Member States. On this basis, we demonstrated the economic and production consequences of phasing out farrowing crates in the EU pig sector, including changes in production efficiency and costs, investment requirements and potential structural adjustments.”

Agata Malak-Rawlikowska, professor at the Economic Faculty, Warsaw University of Life Sciences- SGGW, Poland

“The InterPIG provides a harmonized and reliable database of technical and economic indicators, based on data collected by leading researchers and institutions in the world’s major pig-producing countries. This information enables comparisons of Brazil’s production performance, prices, and production costs with other countries, providing a broad perspective on different production realities. Through consistent and comparable data, InterPIG contributes to understanding the global competitiveness of pig production and identifying competitive advantages, challenges, and opportunities for the sector.”

Charli Ludtke, Technical Director of the Brazilian Association of Pig Breeders (ABCS) and Superintendent of the Swine Genealogical Registry Service (SRGS), Brazil

“InterPIG provides a valuable and transparent framework for comparing pig-production economics across countries. I use its data for international benchmarking and for assessing the competitiveness and strategic position of the Romanian pig sector.”

Dr. Iani Chihaia, President of Romanian Feed Association - ANFNC and FEFAC Board Member, Romania

“The InterPIG data are a unique and valuable source of information on the global pig sector. I have used these data to produce insights and analyses on the comparative performance of pig producers in many countries. These comparisons are very useful for all actors in the supply chain, and for regulators and policy-makers.”

Professor John Strak, Whole Hog Brief and the University of Nottingham, England

“Finding consistent data on livestock performance is key to understanding the potential in global supply dynamics, especially during times of stress. The InterPIG group's work to provide this for the global pig industry is key to forecasting accurate scenarios. “

Rupert Claxton – Meat and Livestock Director at Gira, France

“InterPIG’s annual cost comparison is a key indicator of global cost trends in the pig farming sector. It not only provides insight into economic developments in the sector but also highlights the financial impact of legislation and regulations in various countries. Such information is crucial as we strive to achieve a level playing field within Europe, but also when comparing global trade flows. “
