UK: THREAT AGAINST DANISH BACON EXPORTS
Article Abstract:
William Hague, the leader of the British Conservative Party, wishes to stop imports of meat from countries which don't live up to the British animal welfare legislation. He says British pig breeders are treated unfairly, as breeders in Denmark and the Netherlands don't have to comply with the same tough regulation. Director John Howard of the Danish Bacon and Meat Council in the UK is shocked over Mr. Hague's statements, and says Danish pork lives up to extremely high health and quality requirements.

DENMARK: STEFF-HOULBERG'S 1998/99 RESULTS
Article Abstract:
The Danish slaughter-house group Steff-Houlberg reports a DKr 137mn (USD 19mn) result for the fiscal 1998/99. However, supplementary payments to suppliers total as much as DKr 154mn, so the company has to reduce equity, in all by nearly DKr 30mn, to be able to compete with Danish Crown. Steff-Houlberg will pay DKr 0.63 per kilo in supplementary payment to pig suppliers, whereas Danish Crown pays DKr 0.605.

DENMARK: NUMBER OF PIG BREEDERS TO FALL
Article Abstract:
In the long run, the number of pig breeding farms in Denmark will fall to about 5,000 from the present 18,000, according to Lindhart B Nielsen, chairman of the pig breeder association Landsudvalget for Svin. He says 3,500 farms are already by now in acute crisis. The reason behind this is low pork prices. In 1999, the average price is about DKr 7.30 (USD 1.03) per kilo.
