Metamorphosis underway in Mexico.
Pig progress, 2003, volume 19, n?2

The Mexican pork industry is changing with a trend towards a major concentration of pig farms (58% of the total production is concentrated in four states), with larger and more vertically integrated pork operations that cover the entire swine cycle, feed production, marketing and distribution. This evolution takes place to the detriment of smaller operations which have to deal with major feed costs due to the use commercial feed instead of manufacturing their own. A 11% increase of the national pig meat production was observed in 2001 when compared to 2000.
