Several French cooperatives unite to jointly sell their pigs

Breton pig cooperatives Aveltis, Triskalia, Prestor, Porelia and Syproporcs announced last Monday their intention to jointly market their pigs.

According to the press release, the French pig industry faces a real challenge to their survival and, to address this situation and after months of talks, Aveltis, Porelia, Prestor, Triskalia and Syproporc have decided to "join forces to build a collective offer together capable of enhancing the production value of its members."

Agriculture Minister Stephane Le Foll was in favour of this initiative by pig producers in Brittany.
