on January 27, 2011
In a note, 'UPA' indicated that the price of animal feed has increased by 30% in the last quarter of 2010, representing a rise in the cost of production of the farmer aged 0, 06-0, 08 EUR per kilogram. This increase in production costs, applied to livestock sectors has led to increases in the pig, the farmer has increased their costs of 25 to 30 euros; in the calf, 60 euros; in the Lamb, four euros and the liter of milk from goat, 0.06 euros per liter.
In addition, he noted that this increase in costs to those who have to do front the farmer has not been reflected in the price that is apparent by his productions. This, coupled with the already existing crisis of prices that farmers are suffering for years, is causing "significant" losses in livestock as well as the closure of many of them, he stressed.
In the period 2007-2009, the bovine cabin fell in 225,000 heads; While in the case of the swine herd fell to 700,000 heads in the same period. Some data which, according to the UPA, demonstrate how the price crisis is causing havoc in the livestock, which is now added a new problem: that of the rise in the price of animal feed.
