ALMOST £200,000 has been pledged by the British
Pig Executive (BPEX) to
improve co-operation along the supply chain.
The aim of the scheme is to help develop ideas which will
benefit those taking part and bring an overall improvement
to the British pig industry.
A total of 11 projects have
been accepted in this round of the scheme, which has been
running for four years.
The successful projects included
developing a local branded fresh pork supply, developing
locally sourced production for butchers, farm shops and
packers and creating a new range of products requested
by customers.
BPEX Consumer Marketing Manager Chris Lamb
said: "There
are some exciting projects in this tranche of the grant
scheme covering a wide range of ideas. "The next tranche
is due to be opened later in the year so there are still
opportunities for people to apply.
