 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.  Cool tips for hot pigs
