Finaly back home from SIAL, lost the connecting flight and had to stay in Milan for hours.
|
The other negative issue about SIAL was trying to find a taxi or an Uber after the end of each day, it was terrible, waiting for hours to get a cab back to the hotel.
|
Other than that, the Fair was quite pleasant and was great to catch up and talk about the industry.
|
The three main topics at SIAL were:
|
- The Brazilian threat for the European pig producers especially in the Asian market
- The Chinese pork meat taxation on the European producers which is becoming inevitable day by day
- The reduction of the pig population in the EU which will continue for the coming years
The USA election will also play its part for our industry for the coming years hence all of us are waiting for the 5th of November results which will bring more clarity to questions we all have.

Below you will find my weekly pig industry review.
