AN OVERVIEW OF THE IRISH PIG INDUSTRY
M.A. Martin

Abstract
The pig production sector in Ireland contributes 6% to Gross Agricultural Output. After beef and milk production, the pig sector ranks third in importance in the agricultural sector. The industry is characterised by a relatively small number of large, integrated units. Technical efficiency has been good historically. Feed costs are high and pig prices are generally below the average price in the European Union.
