Spain doubles imports of pigs from the Netherlands

If current growth continues until the end of the year, imports could exceed 2 million piglets.

Spanish imports of Dutch piglets have been increasing steadily, having doubled in five years.

Agricultural entrepreneurs can make their businesses more sustainable or take advantage of voluntary termination schemes.

This should ensure that the risk of animal welfare violations during transport is reduced.

After years of decreasing exports of live pigs, exports increased in 2022, especially to destinations such as Spain and Poland.

In recent years we have seen a decrease in exports to Germany and an increase in piglets destined for Spain.
