    Abstract

    In the Limburg Pork Supply Chain Project (VarKeL) participants from pig breeding (Topigs), pig farmers (LLTB) and slaughterhouses (Dumeco and HMG), under the supervision of the LEI research institution and the Area Advies advisory bureau, have joined together to determine the possibilities for reducing chain losses in pig farming. This report gives concrete points for improvement in the field of information and communication, alternative price/planning system, market-oriented production and chain costs. With those improvements the aim of the project can be achieved, namely a cost reduction of € 0.05 per kg of slaughter weight through chain optimisation.
