Pig farmers call for giant slaughterhouse
A consortium of pig farmers, formed last year with the aim of constructing a giant slaughterhouse, has registered a capacity request for 1.3 million pigs from pig producers so far, which is almost third of Hungary's annual pig output, The Livestock and Meat Council president László Zádori announced. The slaughterhouse would be established with the investment of Ft 25 billion, a part of which the consortium wants to finance from EU subsidies. However, Mrs László Merczel, secretary of the Association of Meat Processors thinks that there is no real need for such an investment in Hungary with the current annual pig production. (Vg 4) R.G.
