Piglets
In the first nine months of this year, Spain has imported 1,557,518 piglets from the Netherlands, marking a trend of continuous increase. If we compare the data from January to September of this year with the 2023 data for the same period we observe an increase of 16.9% and if we compare it with the same period in 2020, it represents an increase of more than 115% in just five years.
If the current growth continues until the end of the year, imports could exceed 2 million piglets.
