NPA Producer Survey on current supply chain situation
1st Jul 2026 / By National Pig Association
A wave of cuts made by the major processors in recent months has left many independent producers is a very difficult situation. The NPA has been discussing the impact and possible solutions for both short and long term.
To help us better understand what is happening in the sector, we have created a producer survey. The survey seeks to understand the nature of contracts and how many producers have been given notice, as well as the number of pigs that will be without a market when notice periods run out.
You can access the survey here.
It should only take 5 minutes to complete and you can either complete it anonymously or provide your business name. Either way all responses will be treated entirely confidentially.
We appreciate any responses as it will help provide a clear picture of what is happening on the ground, as well as aiding in our conversations with the supply chain and government.
