The Irish Pig Sector Year in Review and Outlook for 2021
Category: Government & Organizations

Description: For the last Pig Edge podcast episode of the year, Ciarán Collins was joined by Michael McKeon, Specialist Pig Development Officer with Teagasc, based at Moorepark, with a review of the Irish Pig Sector in 2020 and the outlook for 2021 Michael covers what happened with pig and feed prices in 2020 and the impact that Covid-19 and the more recent outbreaks of African Swine Fever (ASF) has had on the sector. Despite all the difficulties during 2020, it still turned out to be a profitable year for Irish pig farmers. Looking forward to 2021, Michael discusses the pig meat and feed trade, the potential impacts that continuing Covid-19 and ASF problems may have and of course, the impact of a ‘deal or no deal’ Brexit.
