Spain is situated in an intermediate position with respect to productivity and prolificacy, while they obtain good results in reproduction.
In relation to productivity, Holland and Denmark, with 25.56 and 25.50 pigs sold per sow per year, are situated in the first positions, followed by France with 23.89 pigs and Spain with 21.48 pigs. The countries with the least productivity are Italy and the UK with 20.91 and 20.85 pigs, respectively.
