Germany – Decrease in pig supply in 2009

According to the latest swine census taken in November, the number of animals was 26.4 million pigs, which is 2.7% less than for the previous year, with an important decrease in the number of sows, which leads us to expect a decrease in the number of pigs produced in 2009, especially in the second half of the year.
