In 2023, French pig farmers produced 22 million pigs. The 4.8% decrease in French production compared to 2022 is less than the 7.9% decrease seen in European production over one year.
Following two years of crisis due to the soaring cost of raw materials for pig feed, many farmers have been unable to continue in the business.
