UK - The pig industry is one that mirrors classic economic theory. When supplies are scarce, prices are high and this leads to increased production and surpluses, resulting in a fall in price followed by reduced production - the classic pig cycle. The UK was doing quite well until the Russian embargo on pigmeat imports meant a surplus of pork in Europe and finding alternative markets has not been easy, writes Stuart Lumb for ThePigSite.
