The data collection field staff of the Agricultural Marketing Information Division of the Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries, in collaboration with Trevor Hamilton & Associates (THA) Limited, is in the process of conducting field data collection for a census of the pig industry in Jamaica.
“Jamaica is relatively self sufficient in pig production, but there is a dearth of information about the present structure of the industry, largely due to the fact that the last census was conducted almost a decade ago,” the ministry said.
The information gathered will assist the ministry and other industry stakeholders to better plan for the development of the pig/pork industry towards meeting the country’s needs for pork products.
