Pig price currently is currently 110 Roubles per live kg ($1,92). For good farmers, pigs continue to be very profitable, but for many not! according to Simon Grey, General Manager Russia, CIS, and Europe. Some are even losing money (incredible though it seems). I was asked a week or so ago, “why when Russia has low grain cost (wheat at 8900 Roubles ($156) per metric tonne), low labour cost (about $500 per month) and low energy cost (petrol $0.56 per litre at the pump) why are costs of production so high”? Russia wants to continue to grow its pig industry and become a net exporter. For me this is a very sensible ambition. Russia has a massive land bank and can. Read more...

Speaking in Brussels, Copa President Martin Merrild said: "The CAP has been a success story in many ways, enabling farmers to give consumers a good choice of quality food at affordable prices produced in a sustainable manner at the same time as boosting the rural economies.

For the first time, researchers at Finland's Aalto University have been able to show a broad connection between resource scarcity, population pressure, and food imports, in a study published inEarth's Future. "Although this has been a topic of global discussion for a long time, previous research has not been able to demonstrate a clear connection between resource scarcity and. Read more...
