International comparison of pig production costs 2022 : Results of InterPIG
The cost of pig production in Northwest Europe in 2022 amounted to €2.03 per kg hot carcass weight. This was an increase of 26% compared to 2021. The main reason was the rising feed cost. Pig production in the Netherlands had just above average costs compared to neighbouring countries with €2.08 per kg. In piglet production it had a cost advantage compared to e.g., Germany, however, this advantage did not apply to finishing. Non-European countries Brazil and the USA had some 20% lower production costs than European countries. Findings come from InterPIG, an international network of experts in the economy of pig production in 18 countries with 20 years of experience in harmonised cost comparison.
